After collecting the four-piece Immortal King set, Bai Pu was quite satisfied with the effects.
The 50% damage reduction provided by the Ancestral Protection further strengthened Bai Pu’s survivability against strong enemies. After all, no one thinks they have too many damage reduction skills.
Of course, this type of damage reduction effect is multiplicative with other percentage-based damage reduction abilities, not additive.
This is a general rule of the Spirit Realm Will; otherwise, Ancestral Protection Adaptive Evolution would allow for 100% damage reduction, which is unrealistic.
However, Bai Pu can reduce the enemy’s physical damage to below 36 points after multiple percentage reductions, then the fixed physical damage reduction of "Steel Skin" is sufficient to eliminate this remaining damage, rendering him impervious.
With the upgrade of the Immortal King set, the original two-piece bonus seed unchanged, but in fact, the attributes enhanced beca "Basic Attributes"!
Basic Attributes are extraordinary and allow Bai Pu to use other equipnt more easily!
Of course, Bai Pu’s total attributes also increased significantly.
Now Bai Pu’s total attributes are:
Power 119 (59)
Agility 65 (34)
Endurance 123 (65)
Spirit 54 (39)
Fully ard, Bai Pu briefly spoke to Li Ling, checked the items in his Storage Space, and chose to respond to the summoning of Blood Spider’s team mbers.
In the void, the shadows of three arrows condensed, which were the team-building items for Bai Pu and Blood Spider.
Under the cover of the arrow shadows, Bai Pu’s figure turned into white light, slowly fading away.
...
This ti, it was a mid-task ingress into the Spirit Realm, based on the summoning of a teammate.
Thus, there was no initial matchmaking process or routine introduction from the Spirit Realm Will after entering the world.
Fortunately, Bai Pu could still use Spiritual Points to purchase services like "changing appearance and attire to better fit the dinsional style" and purchasing languages.
[Detection: You have been to the Heart Demon World before.]
[Would you like to continue using your previous identity?]
Bai Pu decisively chose yes. He was friends with Dongbo Cheng, which was an important support for him in this world.
Moreover, continuing to use his previous identity had another benefit; Bai Pu didn’t need to obtain another Oath Curse Seal. He already had the "Black Tortoise Oath".
After the feeling of weightlessness disappeared, Bai Pu looked around.
The slightly familiar dim sky was devoid of stars, showing only a half-circle of a dark yellow moon.
The surrounding winds gently blew, with willow branches and reeds rustling creating an eerie feeling.
Fortunately, Bai Pu appeared next to Blood Spider.
Blood Spider was in battle—though not in fierce combat, but rather simply monster grinding.
Two strangely shaped demons fell before Blood Spider.
"You’re here."
Blood Spider, with a look of happiness on its face, picked up the blue treasure chest dropped by one of the demons and trotted over to Bai Pu.
"Hmm, what’s the situation now? Why did you summon here?" Bai Pu asked.
"This is the world of Heart Demon: Great Wilderness River, located on the continent’s map in the southeastern area, at the junction of the ’Cyan Dragon Oath’ and ’Vermilion Bird Oath’..."
Blood Spider, in front of Bai Pu, showed no social anxiety and talked compactly, quickly helping Bai Pu understand the situation.
Great Wilderness River refers to the confluence and basin area of two great rivers on the Heart Demon Continent.
Just like in the real world, where Asia’s Yangtze River and Yellow River intersect longitudinally and latitudinally on the map.
The two rivers extend into vast expanses of wasteland and marshlands, collectively referred to as "Great Wilderness River".
The "Black Swamp" area within the Heart Demon: Oath World region is rely part of the demonic land extending from Black Tortoise Mountain Range in the north.
The Black Emperor of Black Swamp is not the Demon Commander of the entire Heart Demon World; rather, he is one of the four Demon Emperors.
It is said that the four Emperors have been accumulating power in slumber, preparing for the descent of the Demon Ancestor—Great Dark Heaven. On the day of Black Heaven’s descent, the Blood Moon will eternally shroud the sunlight, plunging the world into perpetual night.
The area Blood Spider entered this ti is the southwestern mid-lower reaches of Great Wilderness River, located at the junction between the "Dongbo Clan" and "Zhu Clan".
The Demon Emperor ruling the southwestern reaches of Great Wilderness River’s "Fla Mountain" is known as the "Red Emperor".
Unlike the Black Emperor of Black Swamp, the Red Emperor has been in a state of waking; however, it never found a martial artist flesh-shell suitable for its demon body, thus unable to step out of Fla Mountain.
The Demon Commanders under the Red Emperor often walk among humans, searching for a suitable body for the Red Emperor.
Of course, the Red Emperor doesn’t just idle at Fla Mountain. It manipulates demon qi, continuously eroding and expanding Fla Mountain’s area. Now, Fla Mountain has extended hundreds of kiloters outward, severely compressing the living space of the Dongbo Clan and Zhu Clan.
As two of the Four Great Oaths, despite having competitive relations, these two clans manage to support each other against the demon threat, jointly building the "Demon-Subduing City" on the southwestern border. A large number of Ghost Warriors garrison there, entering Fla Mountain regularly to exterminate demons!
The more demons they exterminate, the less demon qi in Fla Mountain, forcing it to contract inward.
Of course, fighting demons at Fla Mountain is far more dangerous than in Black Swamp.
This is because the Red Emperor’s demon form could descend at any ti!
"Even worse, an Awakened from the Demon Camp completed a series of tasks and found a martial artist suitable to bear the Red Emperor’s demon body," Blood Spider said finally.
"Is that so? What is the martial artist’s identity?" Bai Pu was shocked.
This was quite significant.
With a martial artist’s body to bear the demon form, the Red Emperor could transform into a true "demon," openly appearing outside Fla Mountain, thoroughly disrupting the balance of the Great Wilderness River World and causing upheaval in the Heart Demon World.
A Demon Camp’s Awakened managed to accomplish in such a short Spirit Realm exploration period what countless Demon Commanders couldn’t.
Blood Spider quickly explained, "The martial artist is the daughter of the Nan Zhu Burning Heart Style Sect Leader, na unknown, but her title is ’Fla Blade Princess,’ a leading figure among the new generation of Ghost Warriors of the Nan Zhu Burning Heart Style."
"Where is the Fla Blade Princess now?" Bai Pu inquired.
"Currently in Demon-Subduing City," replied Blood Spider.
Bai Pu curiously asked, "Why doesn’t she go to the rear? Hide at the Nan Zhu Burning Heart Style’s base, and wouldn’t that thwart the demons?"
"The reputation of Awakened in the Guardian Camp isn’t high, and their words don’t receive attention from the Native elites," Blood Spider said, sowhat frustrated. "Currently, regarding claims that ’the Fla Blade Princess is the Red Emperor’s vessel,’ the Natives remain skeptical. The Fla Blade Princess is very proud and refuses to leave Demon-Subduing City without concrete evidence."
Pausing, Blood Spider continued, "However, the effort of the Awakened hasn’t been in vain. The Zhu Clan sent several Leader Level Ghost Warriors to assist, including the Zhu Clan Patriarch, Nan Zhu Burning Heart Style’s Patriarch—Zhu Que."
"Have the Dongbo Clan sent any martial artists as aid?" Bai Pu’s main concern was Dongbo Cheng.
