Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily

“But if we happen to encounter that patrolling Human Race army, we’ll be in big trouble.” Some Demons were still uneasy and spoke up.

“That’s why I’ve endured for several months, the Human Race army has long relaxed their vigilance. It’s not as heavily guarded as before.” The Demon Commander shook his head with smug satisfaction.

He prided himself on being the smartest among this group of Demons, and even in the entire Demon Realm, few could match his wit!

“Hehe, those Great Kings, no matter how powerful, without a brain like mine, it’s ultimately hard for them to survive…”

The Demon Commander’s beast-like eyes squinted into slits, mumbling to himself.

He rose from humble beginnings, growing from a tiny shrimp to the present, relying on his nimble mind.

“There’s absolutely no problem this time.”

Thinking like this, he paused and looked outside the forest at the little village with a plume of smoke rising, stretching out his long tongue to lick his lips.

Within the woods, pairs of Demon Eyes emitted fierce and sinister lights.

However, before he could issue commands, suddenly more than a dozen Military Generals soared through the air, surrounding the group of Demons, and without saying a word, drew their blades and swords, their Powerful Qi surging as they launched their attack.

A moment later, only the Demon Commander was left swiftly darting through the woods, a panicked expression on his face.

“Damn it! Damn it! How could there possibly be a Human Race army ambushing here!”

The Demon Commander intermittently disappeared in the forest, reappearing on the other side, his whereabouts incredibly elusive.

In truth, his survival until now relied not only on his thoughtful and clever mind but also on his talent for escaping danger.

In the past, even if all the Demons following him perished, he could still survive.

But this time, it was different.

A flash of sword light suddenly descended from above, making the Demon Commander’s fur stand on end, feeling like he couldn’t dodge it no matter what.

“I’m gonna die!”

At once, he unhesitatingly tossed out an item.

It appeared to be a slender wooden stick, precisely intercepting the sword light.

A peculiar scene unfolded, the sword light instantaneously absorbed by the stick, vanishing without a trace.

“Oh?” Su Qingqing found this rather surprising.

This mere Demon Commander, actually possessing an Exotic Treasure capable of deflecting her sword, was indeed a rarity.

Su Qingqing descended from the sky, blocking the Demon Commander’s path, and spoke, “I didn’t expect any survivors from the Xuwei Demon tribe, daring to enter Yun Province.”

She recognized the Demon Commander’s identity from the Xuwei Demon tribe at a glance, having dealt with them many times before.

The Xuwei Demon’s face turned fierce, spewing a mouthful of Demon Blood onto the stick, planning to further activate the Exotic Treasure in his hand for salvation.

However, before he could play his trump card, Su Qingqing had no intention of giving him a chance.

Only to see Su Qingqing’s pink eyes light up, Demon Power surging around her, employing Pupil Technique, immobilizing the Xuwei Demon in an instant.

The Xuwei Demon was full of disbelief; he initially thought he had encountered a strong Human Race practitioner, but now with Demon Power surrounding Su Qingqing and employing Demon Techniques, she didn’t seem like an ordinary Martial Artist.

For a moment, he couldn’t discern whether Su Qingqing was part of the Human Race or a Demon like himself.

“Please forgive me, your majesty, please forgive me. I didn’t realize you were of the Demon Race, offending your majesty. I humbly ask for mercy, please spare me…”

The Xuwei Demon’s body couldn’t move, yet he could still speak, hurriedly pleading for mercy.

“Who’s a Demon?” Su Qingqing frowned and snorted lightly.

Though possessing half Demon blood, she was raised among Humans by Song Changming since childhood and always firmly stood on the Human Race’s side, naturally not considering herself part of the Demon Race.

Su Qingqing only found the Xuwei Demon annoying, simply sealing his mouth.

Examining the slender wooden stick in hand, she couldn’t identify anything peculiar for the moment. She planned to take it along with the Xuwei Demon back to show her young master.

“Miss Su, all the Demons in this area have been killed, none escaped,” Rongjiang reported to Su Qingqing as he approached.

He had been an important accompanying figure by Song Changming’s side, tightly trusted, serving him diligently.

Although his position had now been replaced by Su Qingqing, he still worked for Song Changming, currently serving as the Marshal’s Personal Guard Captain.

“How should we handle the Demon corpses?” Rongjiang asked very formally.

“Do as we did before, record detailed Demon information, note the soldiers’ achievements, seal the Demon corpses and deliver them to the Marshal,” Su Qingqing instructed simply.

Although the Tao Practice of these Demons wasn’t high, they followed the principle that even a small gain was significant. Almost all Demon corpses harvested by the military departments would eventually be intercepted by Song Changming as Marshal.

They would then be used as Cultivation Materials, extracting every bit of essence, refining them thoroughly to strengthen his own physique.

Indeed, the flesh essence from a single Little Demon might be quite limited, but when the essence of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of Little Demons coagulates and is refined by Song Changming, the transformation from quantity to quality offers immense aid to his cultivation.

Concerning this, those responsible in various military departments were long accustomed, and Rongjiang nodded before carrying it out.

Meanwhile, back in the main city, Song Changming was situated within the Song Mansion.

Now in mid-June, the annual evaluation was routinely conducted on schedule.

This time due to his experiences in Lei Province, facing the Thunder Wheel Tiger King’s remarkable battle record, enhancements to strength in the Thunder Pool, and the subsequent surge in prestige.

Songa Changming’s annual summary yielded a relatively high evaluation as expected.

Nonetheless, it was still less than when he first entered the Celestial Ruins Realm, because this time, despite significantly wounding Ye Li Feige the Tiger King, he didn’t complete the kill.

The Thunder Pool’s strength elevation mainly pertained to Thunder Seed and Body Refinement’s metamorphosis, his Grandmaster Cultivation hadn’t improved significantly.

Additionally, he partook in few events this year, just the Thunderstruck Mountain incident.

Ultimately, though still a choice of six from four reward items, this time an Orange Level Trait reward didn’t appear.

Thus, Song Changming chose one Life Span reward, one Martial Arts Experience enhancement reward, one Blue Physique Trait reward, and one enhancement to Spiritual Soldiers’ quality reward, which he hadn’t chosen before.

Using the Martial Arts Experience reward, last time helped Song Changming breakthrough in the Heaven Lifting Divine Technique, fully developing Witch God Soul.

This time, he wished to use this method to accumulate the experience bar for the Heaven Lifting Divine Technique.

Unfortunately, this time it wasn’t among the targets he could enhance.

Hence, Song Changming resorted to choosing the enhancement for the sole Martial Arts Skill he had learned, Silent Saber.

“Perhaps the Heaven Lifting Divine Technique only at crucial breakthrough points can be enhanced in this manner, but daily Divine Soul accumulation and practice don’t have shortcuts…”

Song Changming pondered there were still operational rules in his panel, and it wasn’t omnipotent.

To ascertain if his thoughts aligned correctly, he awaited when he next hit a bottleneck in Heaven Lifting Divine Technique practice, to further verify.

On the other hand, the experience value for Silent Saber surged by a full two hundred thousand due to the annual reward.

To perfect this Martial Arts Skill, a million Martial Arts Experience in total was required, surpassing any Martial Technique in difficulty.

Currently, this experience bar was nearly a third filled.

If he continued like this, accumulating a million Martial Arts Experience might seem extremely challenging, but if he could frequently improve ratings, using annual rewards to accelerate accumulation, it wouldn’t necessarily be unattainable within a lifetime.

Within his cultivation room at the mansion, Song Changming sat cross-legged with closed eyes for a long time, surrounded by the unique Sword Intent of extinguishing worlds, fluctuating in strength, showing signs of slight instability.

This immediate increase of two hundred thousand Martial Arts Experience required some time to digest.

Fortunately, he had the Witch God Soul, whose powerful Divine Soul prevented him from being overwhelmed by this massive Martial Arts experience, avoiding losing control in the end.

Were it an ordinary Grandmaster Martial Artist, it would be hard to say.

If Sword Intent lost control, it might not only harm those nearby but could affect the entire Human Race in the city!
