Evolution: From Little Devil to Devil Empress Chapter 405: Everyone Working Hard

The first level of the Crimson Annihilation Technique was equivalent to the Little Devil stage.

In theory, as long as one were to master it, they would be able to contend against a Little Devil just based on their physical strength.

Although Liora had never obtained, much less practiced such a technique before, she possessed the Myriad Devils Body ability.

During her previous advancements, this ability had undergone several transformations

At the same time, Liora had practiced several different power systems in the past.

Therefore, even if her physical strength was no longer her greatest strength, it was at least not a disadvantage.

When all of the above were taken into account, one would expect that her practice of the Crimson Annihilation Technique would be extremely easy and smooth.

However, that was not the case.

The moment Liora operated her demonic energy according to the described route of the technique, a painful, sharp sensation assaulted her entire body.

Liora had suffered a lot in the past.

Her body had been broken down into only particles several times and had been continuously washed by the power of Nothingness for years.

Yet, the moment she began her practice, she discovered that the pain was even more intense than before.

She felt as if countless tiny hammers had been formed within her.

Each hammer was wielded by the strongest of blacksmiths, striking at her cells as if they were trying to forge the toughest of weapons.

Her body shook violently.

A sharp pain, one that seemed to directly target both her body and her soul assaulted her.

Liora finally grasped the difficulty of this test.

Most other Greater Devils would have given up if they were to face her current situation.

Fortunately, Liora had bee numb to pain long ago.

Coupled with the small, yet noticeable, improvement of her physical strength, Liora did not choose to give up.

She could feel that her body was gradually being more perfect.

Although the improvement in strength was small, the aforementioned perfection quickly made her feel addicted.

Without even opening her eyes, she continued operating the Crimson Annihilation Technique, striking her cells with the countless imaginary hammers.

--

Liora truly lost track of time.

She was pletely immersed in the rapid transformation of her life level, causing her to ignore the world around her.

Besides having part of her mind sense ining dangers, she didn’t pay much attention to the outside world.

Under such a condition, time quickly passed.

One day, two days, three days...

One month, two months, three months...

In the blink of an eye, almost a year had passed within the range covered by the stone tablet.

It was only then that Liora, for the first time during this period, finally opened her eyes.

A faint clang echoed from her body, as if the sharpest sword had pleted its forging process and was about to be born.

Her body shone.

Under the observation of her consciousness, she discovered that her cells were being rapidly rearranged, like the puzzle she had solved during the first trial.

A moment later, when the process was pleted, the extraordinary phenomena finally vanished.

Liora took a deep breath.

A bright light flickered within her pupils, which struck at the space before her and caused faint cracks to appear.

"The first level has been mastered.", she couldn’t help but whisper.

It took her just less than a year, slightly quicker than the technique described.

And thankfully, the first level had finally been pleted.

"The first level is only equivalent to a Little Devil. For me, the improvement of strength is minuscule."

"Yet, the rearrangement of my cells seems to have made my physical structure more perfect."

"In the future, improving my physical strength will be many times easier. In a way, my physical potential has been enhanced. "

"This is equivalent to undergoing a subtle improvement in talent..."

Liora had to admit that she might have underestimated the owner of the inheritance palace.

The Crimson Annihilation Technique was extremely precious and would make even Archdevils greedy.

Yet, the other person had freely given it to all challengers, using it as a method to test their will.

An Archdevil would never do such a thing.

Obviously, only an Ancient Devil wouldn’t care about such a technique and would gift it with no strings attached.

Realizing that this technique was even more valuable than she thought, Liora was filled with excitement.

Despite having mastered the first level in less than a year, clearly faster than the test required, she didn’t pause or take a break.

Instead, she closed her eyes again and began operating her demonic energy.

The practice of the second level brought even more pain to its user.

Fortunately, Liora found it absolutely bearable.

Judging by the current increase, the pain would only bee hard for her to withstand when she reached the ninth level.

Until then, she could practice this technique without an issue.

--

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had passed since Liora and her panions entered the inheritance palace.

During most of this time, Liora had been busy in the third trial, immersed in the Crimson Annihilation Technique and the feeling of her structure getting more and more perfect.

On the other hand, the other participants continued being tested.

In the first trial, the canvas in front of Alpha was filled with countless colors.

A beautiful image appeared, as the emotionless voice rang in her mind, requesting that she choose one of the five rewards.

Faced with the five golden lights, whose light was only slightly dimmer than the ones Liora had to choose from, Alpha quickly made her choice.

Based on her feelings, she selected one of them and pocketed the treasure hidden inside.

The next moment, she was moved onto the second trial.

Following a clicking noise, a bronze statue equivalent to a True Spirit Greater Devil awakened.

After it brandished its weapon in her direction, it stormed towards Alpha, aiming to kill her.

--

On the other side, Assira had also unknowingly reached the second trial.

However, pared to Alpha, what she was facing was not one bronze statue, but three.

Clearly, the palace had judged that her strength was higher than Alpha’s.

Thus, the difficulty of the trial had increased accordingly.

Despite this, the bronze statues posed little threat to this Succubus.

Soon, the seductive laughter of a woman echoed as a pink mist engulfed the planet around her.

Before long, the planet was hidden by a dense pink cloud, rendering the people outside unable to see what was happening within.
