Chapter 747 - 103: Dissecting the Demon
Although Dragon’s Fang can deal 30% true damage to demons, the numerical description is fixed, but when facing demons at this level, it definitely isn’t 30%, probably around 5%.
Even if it is only 5% true damage, that’s quite good; at least it can break through this demon’s defenses.
Accompanied by the rumbling gunshots, the bullets once again struck the demon’s thigh, blasting out a larger blood flower, tearing away a large patch of black skin, revealing dark red flesh with clear textures on it.
Upon contact with the air, this flesh began to rapidly dissipate, as if soaked in sulfuric acid.
This is the demon’s flesh, the material for ascension.
Su Changxing fired more than ten shots at the root of the thigh, penetrating the flesh, exposing black bones that glowed dimly.
According to his thinking, it’s certainly not about digging out a piece of meat or a bone, which would be too troublesome, maybe it’s easier to detach the entire leg and throw it into the Pocket Galaxy.
He also considered throwing the whole demon directly into the Pocket Galaxy, but the entrance to the Pocket Galaxy is not that big, at most it can just accommodate the demon’s entire leg.
Moreover, even if he could fit the whole demon inside, he didn’t dare to do so. Though suppressed by this world, the demon seemed very weak, what would happen in the Pocket Galaxy was uncertain.
He wasn’t completely confident to suppress the demon in the Pocket Galaxy.
The bullet collided with the bone, causing an explosion, leaving only a shallow bullet mark on the bone.
"In this case, breaking the bone would be very difficult."
He looked towards the Rune Warriors still fighting over there; the battle was nearing the end, with only a few small black monsters remaining.
Some Rune Warriors were completely paralyzed sitting on the ground due to the plague’s corrosion and system chaos.
This demon, although Su Changxing had peeled off the flesh from its thigh, showed no response, only quietly lying on the ground.
Su Changxing then continued shooting at the bone location with a revolver, leaving increasingly distinct bullet marks, and after more than ten shots, it left an inconspicuous opening.
Exposed to the air, the bone would quickly degrade, coupled with the plague’s corrosion, its strength was rapidly declining.
Finally, on the eighty-ninth bullet, Su Changxing completely broke the demon’s thigh bone, dark purple marrow seeping from the bone’s crevice.
It clearly looked very dangerous, and he didn’t touch it but instead stuffed the entire leg into the Pocket Galaxy.
Unexpectedly.
As soon as the leg entered the Pocket Galaxy, it seemed to regain vitality and began to struggle violently, the wound opened by Su Changxing rapidly healing.
Seeing this situation, he realized something was amiss and immediately exerted maximum control to suppress it.
The demon’s leg crashed with terrifying power within the Pocket Galaxy, each struggle causing Su Changxing to feel a stabbing pain in his head, as if kicked on his skull.
He knew he couldn’t continue this way, but if his Spiritual Power drained, he would lose the restraint of the demon leg, and the whole Pocket Galaxy would be destroyed.
Even Karis could intervene in the Pocket Galaxy through this demon’s leg.
He immediately summoned thousands of data streams to segment the demon’s leg.
The destructive power of the data stream was quite astonishing and could easily damage and segment the demon’s leg.
Soon, the entire leg was divided into hundreds of pieces by the data stream, separating the flesh, veins, and bones.
Only then did he feel relieved, the struggling force from the demon’s leg weakened, allowing him to easily suppress it within the Pocket Galaxy.
He was secretly thankful, if he had been too greedy, if he really stuffed the whole demon inside, it could have caused a major incident.
With the demon’s leg segmented into smaller components by the data stream, it became completely motionless.
After handling the demon’s leg, he turned his attention to the demon’s arm, as the demon’s flesh could serve as ascension material; obviously, the more, the better.
Even if he couldn’t use it, it could serve as nourishment for Tao Yi, allowing for rapid growth.
Such quality flesh, if all fed to Tao Yi, might let its power reach Tier Five.
Undead theoretically have no growth bottleneck, no growth limit, as long as there’s enough flesh and souls.
The advantages and disadvantages of Undead are obvious; during growth, they can easily be killed and become other people’s nourishment.
Then, Su Changxing applied the same method to split the skin at the demon’s arm location, uncovering dark red flesh, firing more than seventy bullets to break the arm bone, revealing purple marrow.
After the demon’s arm was thrown into the Pocket Galaxy, it also began to struggle violently.
However, this time he was experienced, having prepared the data stream to segment it, quickly dividing it into hundreds of parts, completely suppressed.
After such a process, he focused on the demon’s body, as if anything were more valuable than the demon’s limbs, it’d be the demon’s body.
This was obviously conceivable.
Just at this point, the demon’s size had shrunk dramatically, looking like it was on the verge of death, seemingly ready to die at any moment.
However, Su Changxing didn’t dare to throw it entirely into the Pocket Galaxy for fear that he might lose control and end up harming himself.
He fired dozens of shots at the demon’s chest, breaking open the black outer skin to reveal a tangled mass of pitch-black bones.
Unlike human bones.
These bones were densely layered, completely encasing the entire body without leaving a single gap.
Seeing this scene, Su Changxing felt a bit helpless, realizing that breaking these bones would require a lot of effort.
Moreover, these bones were very different from the bones of the hands and feet, covered with dense patterns, twisted divine script.
"So demons are the creations of divine spirits? Created by divine spirits?"
Seeing these divine scripts, Su Changxing formed a hypothesis.
This demon was clearly controlled by Karis; if it was created by Karis, it would make sense.
But he did not give up.
All the rune warriors had already collapsed on the ground, and the remaining few small black creatures were also destroyed by this world’s analysis.
So now, only he and this half-dead demon remained.
Su Changxing resumed his diligent work, using the revolver to bombard the demon’s chest shot by shot, dismantling the bones piece by piece, layer by layer.
"This is like peeling off the layers of an onion."
He thought of a very vivid analogy, finding it akin to peeling an onion, only requiring more effort.
As the demon’s life force weakened, its strength began to plummet; with this rise and fall, the world’s suppression on it grew stronger, and its other two limbs had completely dissolved.
Thus, the density of the bones quickly declined, and Su Changxing, at a faster pace than before, broke open a person-sized hole in the demon’s chest.
Inside it was pitch black, impossible to see anything.
On Su Changxing’s cheeks, four eyes opened, the whites flecked with blue fish-like patterns, emitting a strange glow.
Through the Sky-Breaking Eye, he could see the patterns and changes of space.
Inside the demon’s body, the space had already been distorted, forming different rules from the outside world.
Su Changxing smartly avoided going in, instead dismantling the bones bit by bit from outside, allowing the space inside to have extensive contact with the outside world, naturally restoring to normal.
Gradually, the space inside the demon’s body returned to normal, and a heavily toxic odor permeated the air.
Su Changxing retreated a few steps, crouched on the edge, and started to vomit, large gulps mixed heavily with blood, while a dizzy sensation pounded in his head.
Even with his formidable physique, he couldn’t withstand the stench emanating from the demon’s body, laced with deadly toxic elements that would probably be lethal to an ordinary person on the spot.
Inside the demon’s body, there was nothing else, just a heap of large and small decaying organs soaked in a black stinking dark green liquid, with straw-like long hairs floating on the surface, continuously trembling.
Merely smelling this odor and witnessing the scene caused Su Changxing’s spirit to endure waves of piercing pain, even showing signs of distortion.
His proud, strong spiritual power seemed insignificant before this demon; without it being suppressed, a mere move could lead to mental collapse.
Su Changxing squatted there for a moment, his complexion recovering a lot, fed himself a can of golden Blood of Madness from the Pocket Galaxy to stabilize his spirit, and then put on a gas mask.
He had already found what he was looking for, right inside the demon’s body, encased by a large amount of annular twisted bones, with purple light radiating through the gaps.
That was a massive, pulsating heart, four to five times larger than his entire body.
This was the demon’s heart.
Inherently, creatures like demons wouldn’t have a heart; they lack any apparent weak points, even if dismembered, they can survive and recover quickly.
But when nearing death, a heart would emerge within their body, serving as the organ to consolidate their final power.
What Su Changxing wanted was this thing. According to the mobile notification earlier, the demon’s heart could also be used as advancement material and was of a higher-grade material.
Standing at the opened edge, Su Changxing fired at the bones encasing the heart, sparks scattering but the bullets bounced away without leaving a mark.
The bones enclosing the heart were even harder, impervious compared to before.
Then.
A layer of green fluorescence, akin to moss, appeared at the base of the bones.
"You’re doomed!"
"Despicable human, how dare you desecrate my body so, even in death, I will not spare you!"
At this point, the demon spoke once more, the voice emanating from that pulsating purple heart.
