Chapter 1288: Chapter 1286: Dream Demon: Could You Act Like a Human, Please?
Yes, in the eyes of the Dream Demon, Xuanzang should have already broken through the Quasi-Saint level a long time ago.
It has been several hundred years since I broke through to the Quasi-Saint stage, but the aura that Xuanzang emits, his cultivation level seems to be even stronger than mine.
If someone were to say that Xuanzang only recently broke through to the Quasi-Saint level, the Dream Demon would never believe it.
Therefore, it can be concluded that he should have already broken through to the Quasi-Saint level a long time ago.
“Terrifying! Is this the fearsome power of a person of destiny?” Thinking that Xuanzang had already broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, the Dream Demon couldn’t help but secretly marvel.
Who is Xuanzang? Anyone with some knowledge in the three realms and six paths knows that Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Master Golden Cicada, the second disciple of the Tathagata Buddha.
As for Master Golden Cicada’s cultivation level, before reincarnation, it was merely at the Daluo Golden Immortal level.
But now, the cultivation level chosen after reincarnation has greatly surpassed Master Golden Cicada’s degree? This should be the benefit obtained by a person of destiny at the center of the Immeasurable Kalpa, right?
Thinking about how Jiang Liu broke through to the Quasi-Saint cultivation level in less than ten years, the Dream Demon suddenly recalled Jiang Ziya, the center of the last Immeasurable Kalpa!
Since Xuanzang could have such a terrifying speed of improvement, and his status is only that of a Quasi-Saint’s disciple, there’s no reason that Jiang Ziya, a disciple of a Saint, wouldn’t surpass Xuanzang, right?
But in the end? Jiang Ziya couldn’t even break through to the Immortal Realm?
“I heard that when Jiang Ziya descended the mountain, the Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable once said that Jiang Ziya has no affinity with the Immortal Path and can only enjoy wealth in the Mortal World. When a Saint speaks, it becomes the law. Is it possible that Yuanshi Heavenly Venerable deliberately set Jiang Ziya up?”
Thinking about the differences between Jiang Ziya and Jiang Liu, both belonging to the center of destiny, the Dream Demon suddenly felt as if he had discovered some huge secret.
This matter, upon careful thought, is terrifying!
“Hehehe, even at this moment, you still have the mind to get distracted? You’re not keeping your eyes on me at all!”
After using the special effect of the Overlord Contract ring, Jiang Liu’s cultivation level rose to the 92nd level, but seeing the Dream Demon in a daze, Jiang Liu shouted, both amused and annoyed.
As he spoke, he raised the Thunder Halberd in his hand, and streaks of lightning burst forth, crashing directly toward the Dream Demon.
Crush!
With Jiang Liu’s level rising to the 92nd level, in terms of combat, Jiang Liu already had the power to crush the Dream Demon.
After all, in terms of levels, Jiang Liu is now one level higher than the Dream Demon, and with the Weakness Talisman thrown at the opponent, and the Strengthening Demon-Subduing Mantra cast on himself…
In terms of strength, Jiang Liu fully possessed the power to crush the Dream Demon.
“Holy Monk, stop, quickly stop, I admit defeat, I’m not your opponent, let’s just leave it at this!”
Under Jiang Liu’s crushing attack, the Dream Demon also knew that he was not Jiang Liu’s opponent, and if the fight continued, he was doomed. He urgently pleaded with Jiang Liu.
However, after activating the special effect and temporarily increasing his level by 5, Jiang Liu was at this point where he wouldn’t stop?
Not only did he not intend to stop as the Dream Demon desired, but instead, Jiang Liu’s attacks intensified.
Under Jiang Liu’s attack, the Dream Demon had no power to fight back at all.
After all, draped in the Green Lotus Treasured Flag, this defense wasn’t something the Dream Demon could break, but with the level raised to 92, holding the Thunder Halberd, the Dream Demon couldn’t withstand Jiang Liu’s attacks.
As for the outcome, there’s naturally no need to say.
For Jiang Liu, in this battle, he didn’t need to worry about defense at all, only needed to continuously unleash the strongest attacks.
Occasionally interspersing some control type skills, constantly pouring them toward the Dream Demon was enough.
The battle didn’t last for too long, under the Dream Demon’s continuous pleas, in the battle between two Quasi-Saint level powerhouses, the Sea of Myriad Demons surged with billowing waves.
Soon, the Health Bar above the Dream Demon’s head was finally emptied.
Notification: Gained 2.2 billion Experience Points, gained 160,000 money.
As the Health Bar above the Dream Demon’s head emptied, a system notification soon sounded in Jiang Liu’s mind.
Hearing this sound, Jiang Liu’s mouth twitched slightly.
What ghost? The 91-level Empress, with only a white UI, had over 4 billion Experience Points, but the 91-level Dream Demon with a Blue UI only had 2.2 billion?
Experience Points are barely half of the Empress’s?
Likewise, even the money that burst out after defeating the opponent shrank by half.
“Could it be? Is it really because of the identity bonus?” After pondering for a moment, Jiang Liu secretly murmured in his heart.
It seems this is the only explanation that makes sense?
Back then, Maitreya Buddha’s level was slightly higher than the Empress, but once defeated, his Experience Points were still not as high as the Empress. At that time, Jiang Liu already had a corresponding speculation.
After defeating these bosses, it seems that the experience points gained are not solely based on level, but also on their respective status.
This battle now seems to perfectly illustrate this point.
Watching the figure of the dream demon fall to the ground, its body appearing blurred and flickering, Jiang Liu naturally understood that this was due to his own attack, which emptied the dream demon’s health bar. It did not die but entered a severely injured and near-death state!
“Heh heh heh…”
Seeing the health bar emptied and the dream demon severely injured and unconscious, Jiang Liu suddenly showed a malicious smile on his face.
Along the way, Jiang Liu had never really tried to grind consistently. Today, he rarely encountered a strong opponent at the quasi-saint level of 91, and his 92-level temporary boost had just barely worn off. Should he attempt a second round of grinding?
Thinking of it and doing it without wasting time, Jiang Liu raised his hand, and the Healing Holy Hand skill activated.
With his heart following his intention, he regarded the dream demon as his companion. The holy object of the Healing Holy Hand descended from the heavens, with an invisible ripple spreading out, sweeping over the dream demon’s semi-phantom body, making the health bar above its head recover little by little.
As soon as the Healing Holy Hand skill was cast, Jiang Liu raised his hand towards the dream demon again, casting the Guanyin Mantra skill on it.
After throwing down the two skills, the dream demon, whose health bar had originally been emptied, rapidly recovered to about 60% of its health bar.
Naturally, as the injury largely healed, the originally severely injured and dying dream demon also opened its eyes and woke up.
“Take this, drink it quickly!”
Just before the dream demon could speak, Jiang Liu suddenly threw a bottle of Enhanced Healing Potion towards it and spoke.
“Is this the legendary Healing Divine Medicine from Master Xuanzang?” Seeing the Enhanced Healing Potion Jiang Liu threw over, the dream demon spoke without hesitation, grabbing it in hand and then gulping it down.
The effect of the Enhanced Healing Potion also restores 30% of maximum life value.
Therefore, after drinking the Enhanced Healing Potion, the health of the dream demon quickly recovered to about 90%.
From the perspective of health, it was naturally very healthy.
“What a skill, to nearly heal my injuries in the blink of an eye! No wonder Master Xuanzang struck so hard just now; his healing methods are equally magical!” Feeling that his injuries were almost completely healed, the dream demon marveled in his heart.
“Many thanks to the Sandalwood Merit Buddha for healing my injuries!” While still in shock, the dream demon immediately expressed gratitude to Jiang Liu, appearing as if he had just survived a disaster.
If the other party had wanted, he could have killed him at any time, but he didn’t, clearly sparing his life on purpose, thus the dream demon was naturally grateful.
“No, no, you don’t need to thank me, you’re happy too soon…” Just hearing the dream demon’s words of gratitude, Jiang Liu shook his head and said.
“Uh? What does the Sandalwood Merit Buddha mean by this?”
This response from Jiang Liu made the dream demon’s heart skip a beat, reflexively feeling a sense of unease.
Seemingly to confirm what this unease was in the dream demon’s heart, Jiang Liu showed a slightly apologetic smile on his face and simultaneously raised the Thunder Halberd in his hand again, saying to the dream demon: “The previous spar wasn’t satisfying enough, so shall we continue for another round?”
“Merit Buddha, please don’t!” Upon hearing Jiang Liu’s words, the dream demon’s expression changed drastically, almost bursting into tears as he cried out in terror.
“Rest assured, it’s alright, with me here, you won’t be in any life-threatening danger. Even if you die, I have the ability to resurrect you!”
Seeing the nearly tearful appearance of the nightmare, Jiang Liu spoke in a comforting manner.
Of course, if he wasn’t attacking while comforting, perhaps these comforting words might have had some effect.
However, despite the comforting words, Jiang Liu showed no mercy and again raised his hand, casting a Weakness Talisman skill on the dream demon.
At the same time, streaks of thunder light burst forth from the Thunder Halberd, striking towards the dream demon.
Ah ah ah!
Under Jiang Liu’s attack, the dream demon had no ability to resist, screaming continuously.
The mournful cries were truly chilling to hear.
After about another duration of a tea ceremony, Jiang Liu finally flashed to the front of the dream demon, extending his hand directly towards it.
No matter whether he could hold the immaterial dream demon, a mighty thunderbolt erupted from Jiang Liu’s hand.
Palm Thunder!
Ah!
Under this violent thunder strike of Palm Thunder, the dream demon let out a short, sharp scream, and then, the health bar above its head was once again emptied.
Meanwhile, the system’s notification sounded in Jiang Liu’s mind once again.
Notice: Gained 1.2 billion experience points, gained 80,000 money!
“What? After the second round, the experience points have shrunk significantly!?” Upon hearing the system notification, Jiang Liu’s face turned dark.
