Chapter 366: Chapter 3 The Demon King Reappears

Hidden Weapon, Breakthrough once or twice, could only collect weapons, which, to Wang Sheng who possessed the ability to refine, was actually less useful than one might imagine, even bordering on useless.

Eating it was of no use; discarding it, a pity.

But this time, after breaking through for the third time, the situation changed.

Wang Sheng waved his sleeve, everything in his closed training area disappeared, all was gathered up without leaving anything behind, clean and clear.

After breaking through three times, Hidden Weapon was no longer limited to collecting weapons, it could gather other things too—effectively a bona fide spatial Divine Skill.

“A simplified version of the Sleeve Universe?”

Sleeve Universe, a mythical and legendary spatial Divine Skill, where collecting items was just a trivial function, if fully used, there was nothing it wouldn’t collect, it could even be used to trap formidable enemies.

Now the three-time breakthrough Wang Sheng had accomplished with Hidden Weapon wasn’t that impressive.

It could only collect some items, and the space it provided wasn’t too large.

Of course, for the present Wang Sheng, that was already more than enough.

Spatial Divine Skills were very convenient for everyday use, saving him the trouble of fetching items.

“Maybe change the name!”

After the third breakthrough, continuing to call it Hidden Weapon didn’t quite fit.

The progress bar itself could be manipulated by him, and changing the name to a certain extent, he would naturally make good use of it.

Soon, Wang Sheng had finished renaming the skill.

“Sleeve Universe: Breakthrough+3 (1%)”

“Although it’s like gilding the lily, it’ll definitely reach that point in the future, no problem!”

The effects of the legendary Sleeve Universe weren’t yet achieved, but that didn’t stop Wang Sheng from anticipating it now.

This new name was also his expectation!

“Not bad, I hope it can achieve that effect!”

After trying out the effects of the spatial Divine Skills a few more times, Wang Sheng was thoroughly satisfied; the feeling was quite good.

Thus, he made a special trip out of his closed training, placed all his possessions into the space of the Sleeve Universe, and then continued his seclusion.

But this time, the focus of his seclusion was different.

The three-time breakthrough Sleeve Universe didn’t just provide him with an additional storage space but also deepened his understanding of the “Qiankun” knowledge skill after the three-time breakthrough.

“Qiankun,” with one breakthrough, had acquired the ability for long-distance teleportation, but unfortunately, Wang Sheng hadn’t figured it out yet, and even if he did, there was no use for it currently.

With three breakthroughs, it was similar to knowledge of storage space, which Wang Sheng hadn’t studied intentionally, but due to the existence of Hidden Weapon, his understanding was very deep.

“Should I try to create space equipment?”

Wang Sheng thought about his knowledge.

Seemed like it still wasn’t sufficient.

“No, how to open a space and then integrate this space into an object seems a bit difficult.”

Space equipment wasn’t just about space; the equipment aspect was also crucial.

Currently, it seemed Wang Sheng couldn’t achieve that.

“Never mind, what I have now is enough; I don’t need to worry too much.”

He had the Sleeve Universe, so he wasn’t keen on pursuing space equipment. If feasible, he wouldn’t mind trying, but if not, he didn’t have time to slowly experiment.

There were more important things at hand.

However, with the advent of the storage space, Wang Sheng did devote part of his energy into “Qiankun,” which served as motivation for himself.

Achievements would make him more willing to continue researching.

His seclusion hadn’t ended.

But not long after this seclusion, Yue found him.

“Lord Wang Sheng, a Demon King has appeared, it should be the last time’s Green Lion Demon King!”

“!”

The Green Lion Demon King, the Demon King that attacked the Wu Dynasty, directly prompted the Cang Dynasty to attack the Wu Dynasty.

If it wasn’t for Wu Qingfeng and the Green Lion Demon King inflicting mutual destruction, the Cang Dynasty might not have easily overtaken the Wu Dynasty.

Moreover, the appearance of the Green Lion Demon King caused a large number of ordinary people to die.

Wang Sheng had previously wanted to kill the Green Lion Demon King, and even more so after he found out that the Demon King’s attack on the two dynasties was likely because he had dealt with the Heavenly Father, which further fueled his desire to kill.

Some matters simply couldn’t be let go easily.

“Where?”

“Inside the Ming Dynasty, also within the territory of the former Cang Dynasty.”

“The Cang Dynasty, really ran far, almost crossing a country, how many people died this time?”

The appearance of the Green Lion Demon King, Wang Sheng didn’t believe was located in a hidden place; it was most likely that the Green Lion Demon King did something again to reappear.

“Tens of thousands!” Yue’s voice was somewhat heavy.

“…”

Wang Sheng felt much the same, the death of tens of thousands of people was indeed a dire tragedy.

“Give me a location, I hope he hasn’t left!”

With just a rough location, he would be able to find it.

“Snow State, Snow Plain Prefecture! The massacred city is Snow Plain Prefecture’s capital!”

Snow State, once a large state in the northern part of the Great Zhou, had a continuous, ever-snowy mountain range extending beyond the boundaries of the Great Zhou, which is why it was named Snow State.

The harsh environment, expansive land, and sparse population meant only the capital city could have tens of thousands of people.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Sheng didn’t hesitate and took off using Sword Control.

Yue only saw a streak of light flash across the sky and then disappear.

Utilizing his full speed, it took Wang Sheng just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to reach his destination, the capital of Snow Plain Prefecture.

Here, there was no blood, just a profound silence; the desolate climate made the city seem like a city of death, with deadly silence within, like a devouring abyss.

“All eaten?”

Wang Sheng was well aware of the habits of Demon Beasts—when facing humans, they generally swallowed them whole; apart from eating, there was also some minor torturing.

Evidently, the Green Lion King had directly devoured the people of the capital.

A remote capital, inherently incapable of confronting such a terrifying enemy—perhaps dying without pain was already the greatest comfort.

He didn’t stay long, started searching in Snow State, trying to find the Green Lion Demon King.

However, before finding the Demon King, he encountered Zhu Xiao.

“Are you also here for that Green Lion King?”

“Yes,” Zhu Xiao nodded, “Some people from Yuelai Inn were also injured, and besides, with tens of thousands of people dying like that, I couldn’t just stand by.”

“Any leads?” Wang Sheng knew Yuelai Inn was always well-informed.

“Not yet found, but when I came, I went to another Yuelai Inn in Snow State; there was news of another city being attacked, this time over ten thousand people.”

“Over ten thousand people?” Wang Sheng sighed deeply, then his eyes sharpened, “So, it’s still in Snow State!”

That made things much easier!

Some things could only be repaid with blood!

Without waiting for Zhu Xiao, he set off, continuing his search…
