Chapter 953 - 548: Juvenile Knowledge Ancient Tree, Heart of the Holy Spirit

When moving within the Territory, it’s more convenient than riding a horse or other mounts.

Because it can store the Burden-Bearer Mecha in the Personal Storage Grid.

However, it cannot store any living creatures.

Except for that Old Traveling Horse the system defaulted as a gift upon arrival.

That’s a complete exception; it’s no longer possible now.

The speed of the Burden-Bearer Mecha is just right, making commuting within the Territory easy.

There’s still an hour left until noon.

He plans to return to the Lord’s Fortress first.

After spending another five or six minutes, he returned to the Central District.

First, he took out the Communication Crystal to contact Wenresa, Doris, and Luna.

Instructed them to gather all the Warriors before noon.

He himself returned to the Lord’s Fortress.

As usual, the Lord’s Fortress was empty during this time.

Everyone basically went out.

Zong Shen sat in the first floor’s living room.

Taking advantage of this free time, he’s ready to give it another try.

Using the Demon Power to dissolve the remaining Evil’s Filth on the Heart of the Holy Spirit.

Each time Demon Power is used to dissolve the Evil’s Filth, there’s a saturation period.

The more dissolved, the longer the saturation time.

The last time he dissolved Evil’s Filth in the Demon Transformation state.

This resulted in a large amount of Evil’s Filth being dissolved.

During this period, he also tried communicating with the Demon Power again to devour Evil’s Filth.

Unfortunately, it had no effect.

This shows the time hasn’t come yet.

Today, he’s ready to try again, as the remaining Evil’s Filth on the Heart of the Holy Spirit is not much.

As long as all the remaining Evil’s Filth is dissolved and stripped away.

This Heart of the Holy Spirit can be completely unsealed.

Speaking of which, this Heart of the Holy Spirit was something Marie acquired unintentionally from the Market.

At that time, it was completely wrapped in Evil’s Filth.

Ordinary Lords couldn’t identify its true nature.

And stripping the surface Evil’s Filth was very difficult.

But Zong Shen is different, he has the Guide Module, able to see various notes and tips.

Thus, he can see through to the Heart of the Holy Spirit’s true nature beneath the Evil’s Filth.

And by a chance coincidence, mastered a method to dissolve Evil’s Filth.

According to previous strategy hints, this Heart of the Holy Spirit’s Tier reached Overlord Level.

Which corresponds to the Tier of the Demon’s Heart he fused back then.

However, his Demon’s Heart had undergone multiple enhancements.

First, it devoured the wandering soul and leftover Demon’s Blood of Fear Demon King Balnaha.

Then, it devoured the wandering soul of the Fallen Shadow Demon.

These two enhancements significantly boosted the original Demon State’s Strength.

It’s just unknown if the Heart of the Holy Spirit’s Strength can rival it.

At this moment, Zong Shen recalled a detail.

When he fused the Demon’s Heart, it was stated to be in an Incomplete State.

Because this Demon’s Heart had been partially absorbed by the Spider Web Monster Lord Leopold.

So after two enhancements, Zong Shen estimated the Demon’s Heart and the Heart of the Holy Spirit roughly balance each other.

Of course, this is just his guess.

But even a slight deviation is no big deal.

Because Zong Shen was well prepared.

Thinking of this, he took off the chain armor glove on his right hand.

Bare-handed, he took out the Heart of the Holy Spirit.

Now, most of its body has been exposed.

Only a small part still sticks to the Evil’s Filth.

Zong Shen held it in his hand, focused his mind, and began communicating with the power of the Demon’s Heart.

A surge of overwhelming Demon Power coursed through his blood vessels, reaching his right hand.

This Demon Power oozed through his skin, like dark smoke.

Instantly enveloping the entire Heart of the Holy Spirit.

Forming a layer of black fog shell on its surface.

This fog shell churned and leaped, as if alive.

Under these circumstances, Zong Shen soon received clear feedback in his hand.

The Demon Power began dissolving the Evil’s Filth!

This indicates everything is just right.

The remaining Evil’s Filth is not much, it was all stripped and dissolved in just half a minute.

This Evil’s Filth was absorbed by Zong Shen’s body.

Accordingly, the Level of the skill he mastered by the same name increased a bit.

This means the defense area of Evil’s Filth will also increase again.

In the previous battle of taming Eagle, Evil’s Filth played a significant role.

Its defensive ability is undeniable, and to some extent, it can be said to be extreme.

Currently, Zong Shen has no mind to research Evil’s Filth.

Because his right hand is undergoing a change.

The right hand holding the Heart of the Holy Spirit began to tremble unconsciously.

This is because a force emerged.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."

Strands of milky white Holy Light pierced like swords through the black fog shell made by Demon Power.

This reaction appeared very suddenly, catching Zong Shen somewhat off guard.

The Holy Light shot straight up to the first floor’s ceiling.

Hitting the blue-gray stone slabs, it quickly dissipated into nothingness.

This Holy Light seemed to do no damage to other external objects.

But it did conflict with the Demon Power.

In an instant, the Demon Power surrounding the Heart of the Holy Spirit had a violent reaction with the Holy Light.

"Sizzle!"

A boiling sound like water hitting a hot oil pan burst forth.

Reacting with each other, even the air filled with an indescribable burnt oil smell.

Zong Shen felt the Heart of the Holy Spirit was trying to break free from his grasp.

Meanwhile, the Demon’s Heart within his body also showed signs of unrest.

Frantically mobilizing large amounts of Demon Power, attempting to suppress it.

Fortunately, this anomaly was quickly forcibly suppressed by Zong Shen.
