Chapter 587: Chapter 458: High-Level Monarch, White Nightmare Demon (Part 2)
Chu Mu indeed did not expect Teacher De to be so straightforward. No matter how difficult the previous battles were, Chu Mu never summoned the White Nightmare Demon to fight. In fact, although the White Nightmare Demon was only at the Eighth Rank Ninth Stage – Intermediate Monarch, with its powerful attribute talent, it would definitely not be a problem for this white demon to fight with a Ninth Rank Lower Stage – Mid-Level Monarch.
If Soul Hall wouldn’t mind Chu Mu having the White Nightmare Demon, he could use the 1.5 billion to greatly improve the White Nightmare Demon’s strength, giving him greater reliance in the upcoming realm challenges.
“Thank you, Teacher De. Who is the senior you mentioned earlier…?” Chu Mu asked curiously. From Teacher De’s words, it seemed that someone was secretly backing Chu Mu.
“This old fellow has been paying attention to you since the day you arrived at Soul Hall. He is usually elusive, and very few people in Soul Hall can see him…. I’ve been protecting you, as he was low-key and hinted me to do so.” Teacher De didn’t specify who the senior was, but it was clear that he wouldn’t reveal their identity.
Chu Mu secretly asked Master Li, who claimed not to know, and could only guess that maybe they were a member of Soul Hall’s inner circle…
Soul Hall’s inner circle consisted of the most authoritative figures in Soul Hall, who held titles above the tenth level. The identities of the people within this inner circle were kept secret. Some daring young people had once joked that the appearance of the elders from the inner circle was like a “resurrected corpse”.
This joke referred to the fact that these old fellows usually did not appear in any public event and were just like lying in a coffin. The most important thing is that most people in Soul Hall do not know their true identities. Just like before, Chu Mu wouldn’t have thought that Teacher De, who was always messing around with various strange medicinal herbs, was actually a Soul Hall Elder.
There were many white-haired old men like Teacher De in Soul Hall, such as some palace masters of the Seven Great Halls, the Holy Guard Leaders of the Holy Domain, the heads of the outer hall, middle hall, and inner hall, numerous Soul Hall scholars who study hard, and even old men who leisurely drink tea and play with children in the courtyard. Those who haven’t truly been in contact with the inner circle wouldn’t know if any of these seniors were actually an elder or even a highly respected soul hall elder…
…
Chu Mu had no way of knowing which expert was keeping an eye on him. Since the Soul Hall Elders no longer cared whether Chu Mu had a White Nightmare Demon or not, Chu Mu had nothing to be afraid of. The next step was to find the most suitable spiritual object to strengthen the White Nightmare Demon!
It is already quite difficult to see spiritual objects worth 1.5 billion in ordinary transactions. Chu Mu learned about the valuable Nightmare Demon Soul from a senior member of the Business Association after listening to Teacher De’s introduction.
Previously, Chu Mu had planned to purchase enough Giant Race Souls to strengthen the Ghost Dome King. This unique refining method of spiritual objects from spirit masters who controlled undead soul techniques or soul pets was something Chu Mu didn’t quite understand. In any case, this high-end mysterious strengthening method, which extracts the souls from some powerful soul pets to strengthen other soul pets, was the most direct way to enhance the strength of that race.
Chu Mu chose a time to use the 1.5 billion worth of Nightmare Demon Soul to strengthen the White Nightmare Demon at the Eighth Rank Ninth Stage.
Since this type of strengthening was too intense, Chu Mu specially asked Ye Qingzi for a Soul Power medicine to ensure that he wouldn’t completely exhaust his soul power during the process.
“Hiss~~~~~~~~~~”
The White Nightmare Demon, its entire body engulfed in white flames, stood in front of Chu Mu. It always imitated Chu Mu’s appearance, and when they stood together, it was as if there was a sinister mirror placed between them.
“If you’re ready, we’ll start strengthening.” Chu Mu said to the White Nightmare Demon.
“Hiss~~~~~~~~” The White Nightmare Demon, who resembled Chu Mu’s shadow, nodded with its wicked, flickering pupils showing some complex emotions.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Mu felt that the White Nightmare Demon’s emotions were strange and asked.
“Hiss~~~hiss~~~~” The White Nightmare Demon uttered strange sounds in a low voice.
After listening, Chu Mu smiled and said, “Of course it’s to strengthen you. Do you think this Nightmare Demon Soul I have is fake?”
In fact, the White Nightmare Demon’s initial suggestion to be strengthened was somewhat out of a desire to join in the excitement.
By now, the White Nightmare Demon’s intelligence had also grown considerably. It knew that it posed a great threat to Chu Mu and would instinctively devour its master’s soul once its strength increased. Therefore, it also knew that it would not be included in any spiritual objects’ strengthening.
What the White Nightmare Demon didn’t expect was that after casually shouting out, Chu Mu would actually go and buy a spiritual object to strengthen it, and it was an incredible 1.5 billion-value spiritual object strengthening that the other soul pets had never experienced!
During their time in the Wind-binding Sanctuary, the White Nightmare Demon threatened Chu Mu’s soul once. Afterwards, Chu Mu didn’t hold any grudge, and the White Nightmare Demon already felt very guilty. In the following wild training, the White Nightmare Demon was particularly diligent, especially during their time at Di Sheng Domain.
And now, Chu Mu had provided the White Nightmare Demon with such a valuable spiritual object, and the White Nightmare Demon felt for the first time that it was being treated with the same importance as Chu Mu’s other soul pets…
Perhaps, if it wasn’t for the constitution of the demon flame burning, this mischievous white demon would now be in tears!
Chu Mu, after understanding the White Nightmare Demon’s feelings, showed a peaceful smile and said, “I didn’t give you any previous strengthening simply because your race level is already very high, and those spiritual objects wouldn’t be very useful for you. In the seventh realm, eighth realm, and ninth realm, many powerful enemies will appear in front of us, and we will need you to fight.”
“Hiss~~~~~~~”
The White Nightmare Demon’s demon flames suddenly surged upwards, having a high fighting spirit like that of a soul baptism. Fortunately, Chu Mu had already become accustomed to the White Nightmare Demon’s soul burn every day. He stood in front of the White Nightmare Demon, allowing the soul demon flames to fly freely.
Seeing the White Nightmare Demon quickly returning to its normal state and clearly feeling a closer soul connection with it, Chu Mu wore a gratified smile on his face.
The turning point in Chu Mu’s life was Mo Ye’s appearance, but without the existence of the White Nightmare Demon, Chu Mu’s soul sense wouldn’t have reached such a high realm. He was able to reach the City of the World and qualify to enter the Seventh Realm thanks to the White Nightmare Demon’s constant pressure.
In fact, after so many years, Chu Mu had already grown accustomed to the coercion and pursuit of the White Nightmare Demon. Although the White Nightmare Demon’s soul devouring is an instinct, Chu Mu knew it was dangerous, terrifying, and evil. However, it had also accompanied Chu Mu’s growth step by step until now, continuously fighting for him as his first soul pet.
Chu Mu didn’t mind the weakness of his soul pets and didn’t care about the lowliness of their race rankings. As long as they followed him and fought for him, even if they were evil, they were still his soul pets. Chu Mu would make them powerful!
“Alright, let’s begin,” Chu Mu said to the White Demon.
The White Demon nodded seriously, following Chu Mu’s command, and slowly absorbed the special Nightmare Demon Soul into its body, then gradually approached its own soul!
The Nightmare Demon Soul had huge soul energy. When Chu Mu introduced it with his soul sense, his soul power consumption was very fast, and he could even feel the mental resistance of the Nightmare Demon Soul.
“Chi~~~~~~~~” The White Nightmare Demon, being a soul devil, sensed the stubbornness of the Nightmare Demon and directly emitted a Demon Cry, intimidating it!
The White Demon’s intimidation was extremely effective, and under the cooperation between it and Chu Mu’s soul, the evil aura of the Nightmare Demon Soul was gradually suppressed, then slowly turned into energy and became the power of the White Demon.
This time, the White Demon cooperated like never before. With its inherent ability to devour its own kind, it started devouring the Nightmare Demon Soul worth 1.5 billion as soon as the powerful Nightmare Demon Soul approached it!
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~~~~~”
The Demon Flames on the White Demon’s body were burning more and more vigorously, almost filling Chu Mu’s entire room.
Soon, all the items in Chu Mu’s room were burned to ashes by the White Nightmare Demon. Fortunately, the White Demon was able to control its rampant Demon Flames and didn’t completely destroy Chu Mu’s room.
This soul devouring process brought intense soul pain. Half of this pain was transmitted to Chu Mu’s spirit, causing his soul power to keep depleting rapidly!
…
Chu Mu didn’t know how much time had passed. He only knew that when his soul power was about to be exhausted, the White Nightmare Demon’s soul devouring gradually eased.
“Chi~~~~~~~” The White Nightmare Demon let out a weak cry, and the Demon Flames on its body disappeared completely. Its entire body looked eerily like it was cast from mercury!
Chu Mu had never seen the White Nightmare Demon’s Demon Flames completely extinguished before. The Demon Flames were like its skin, always present.
“Young Master, the White Nightmare Demon’s Demon Flames have disappeared and are very likely to give birth to new Demon Flames! When its emotions changed just now, this inherently unusual devil had the tendency to metamorphose. Now that it has fully absorbed the soul,” the Fox Elder cried out in surprise.
A delighted grin crossed Chu Mu’s pale face.
Chu Mu soon found that the White Nightmare Demon was exhausted, so he hurriedly recalled it to the Soul Pet Space.
Upon returning to the Soul Pet Space, the White Nightmare Demon immediately fell into a deep sleep, and its body did not show any other unusual symptoms.
Previously, when the Ghost Dome King underwent soul strengthening, it also entered a deep sleep. Now it was the White Nightmare Demon’s turn to do the same.
Before long, more advanced Demon Flames would ignite on its body!!
Higher grade Demon Flames meant an increase in the White Nightmare Demon’s species ranking!!
The White Nightmare Demon itself was an Intermediate Monarch. Once it advanced again, it would become a High-Level Monarch!!
Once the White Nightmare Demon awakened, Chu Mu would possess a fully reborn White Nightmare Demon – a true High-Level Monarch!!
(The rise of the White Nightmare Demon, many people will suffer~~~~~)
