[Ding! You have defeated a Demon Realm soldier, gaining cultivation experience and 100 battle credits.] [Ding! You have defeated a Demon Realm squad leader, gaining cultivation experience and 200 battle credits.] [Ding! You have defeated a Demon Realm centurion, gaining cultivation experience and 500 battle credits.] ...
A series of notification sounds rang out, and Jiang Yuan’s battle credit value, which had been stagnant in his attribute panel for a long time, finally began to stack up rapidly. In no time at all, over a thousand battle credits were in hand!
The Six Jia and Six Ding Divine Generals boasted attack power in the tens of millions, and ordinary Demon Realm soldiers were no match for them. The twelve figures swung their blades, cutting down enemies almost one by one, mercilessly reaping lives!
Meanwhile, Ding Ye and Wen Ding Cang Sheng from the team charged into the enemy formation, surrounding a Demon Realm Grand Commander and attacking him. Jiang Yuan glanced at the opponent’s attributes, then shook his head.
“The Grand Commander’s attack power is too low. Using the Spirit Contract on them would be a waste!”
Jiang Yuan abandoned the idea of using the Spirit Contract on the Demon Grand Commander, his eyes sweeping across the battlefield in search of a new target.
[Demon Realm Northern Expedition General] Level: 200 Realm: Third-Rank Demon General HP: 500 million Attack Power: 50 million
“Very good! That’s the one!”
Before long, Jiang Yuan spotted a powerful general among the Demon army as his second target for the Spirit Contract!
“Six Jia and Six Ding Divine Generals, hear my command! Focus your assault on the enemy Northern Expedition General!”
Jiang Yuan immediately ordered the twelve divine generals, who were gleefully slaughtering amidst the enemy ranks.
“As you command!”
The Six Jia and Six Ding Divine Generals received the order and immediately turned their spears, charging straight for the enemy Northern Expedition General.
“Bei Luo Shi Men, give that guy called the Northern Expedition General a good beating!”
Then, Jiang Yuan spoke to Bei Luo Shi Men, who was tearing through the void and attacking Demon soldiers.
“Got it, master! Meow!”
Bei Luo Shi Men, now the size of a leopard, heard Jiang Yuan’s command and immediately raised a paw to tear through the void, diving in and reappearing behind the Northern Expedition General.
Smack!
Bei Luo Shi Men swiped a claw across the Northern Expedition General’s back, dealing a critical hit of 20 million damage!
As a creature summoned by the Spirit Contract secret art, Bei Luo Shi Men inherited all of Jiang Yuan’s attributes, including the twelve divine generals, who also possessed his full critical hit rate and critical damage!
Crack!
Jia Wu Divine General Wei Yu Qing thrust his spear into the Northern Expedition General, unleashing an explosive 60 million damage!
Though the other eleven divine generals didn’t land critical hits, their average damage hovered around 10 to 20 million!
Within just a few minutes, the enemy Northern Expedition General couldn’t hold out any longer. His health bar plummeted, dropping below 10%!
“Everyone stop! No more fighting!”
Seeing this, Jiang Yuan immediately ordered the Six Jia and Six Ding Divine Generals and Bei Luo Shi Men to halt, then used the Spirit Master’s innate skill [Spirit Contract] on the weakened Northern Expedition General!
“By the covenant of blood, with my will, I bind your soul, for eternity, to serve my command!”
The ancient chant echoed across heaven and earth. A mysterious mark appeared on Jiang Yuan’s forehead, and a beam of golden light shot out from it, landing squarely on the Demon Northern Expedition General!
Then, amid the terrified gazes of countless Demon soldiers, the Northern Expedition General, who had been struggling fiercely, suddenly lowered his weapon-wielding right hand. His expression turned blank, but quickly cleared again. Demonic energy surged around him, and he broke free from Jiang Yuan’s [Spirit Contract] control!
“Ah! It hurts!”
Jiang Yuan was stunned by the backlash, a sharp pain radiating from his head, making it throb unbearably. He couldn’t help but cry out in agony.
“Damn! What’s going on?”
After a moment, Jiang Yuan recovered somewhat and sensed that his connection with the enemy Northern Expedition General had been severed. He cursed in frustration.
[Ding! The enemy’s realm is too high. Contract signing failed!] [Ding! Respected immortal friend, the Spirit Contract can only be used on enemies up to three major realms above your own. Do not use it across realms!]
Two consecutive notifications sounded, and Jiang Yuan finally understood why his Spirit Contract had failed!
The enemy Northern Expedition General was at the Third-Rank Demon General realm, while Jiang Yuan was only a First-Rank Earth Immortal—a gap of five major realms!
According to the notification, Jiang Yuan could only sign contracts with enemies no more than three major realms above him. In other words, only beings at the Mystic Immortal realm in the Celestial Realm or the Mystic Demon realm in the Demon Realm were eligible for [Spirit Contract]!
“I was careless! This backlash is no joke!”
Jiang Yuan rubbed his head, calming the piercing pain, and said with some regret. Then he began scouting the battlefield for a new target.
Finally, his gaze landed on a Demon Lieutenant General, and a look of delight appeared on his face.
[Demon Lieutenant General] Level: 140 Realm: Second-Rank Mystic Demon HP: 80 million Attack Power: 5 million
“This guy is perfect! Six Jia and Six Ding Divine Generals, beat him down for me!”
Seeing the newly found Demon Lieutenant General, Jiang Yuan immediately ordered the twelve divine generals!
In just a few seconds, the poor lieutenant general was ganged up on by Jiang Yuan’s twelve divine generals and reduced to low health. Jiang Yuan promptly cast [Spirit Contract] again!
“By the covenant of blood, with my will, I bind your soul, for eternity, to serve my command!”
As the ancient chant rang out once more, no mishap occurred this time. The contract-signing process lasted about a minute, and then the Demon Lieutenant General transformed into a beam of black light, merging into Jiang Yuan’s body!
Opening the skill interface, Jiang Yuan quickly scanned it and saw that beneath the character for “Demon,” a new human head icon had appeared, labeled “Demon General No. 1.”
“Demon General No. 1, come out!”
Jiang Yuan muttered silently, and with a flash of black light beside him, the Demon Lieutenant General instantly appeared before him.
“Demon General No. 1 pays homage to master!”
The Demon Lieutenant General, now successfully bound by Jiang Yuan’s [Spirit Contract], had all traces of malice in his eyes dissipated. Though black demonic energy still emanated from him, he had become Jiang Yuan’s loyal spirit servant!
“Go, slay Demon soldiers for me!”
Jiang Yuan immediately ordered Demon General No. 1, and the latter didn’t hesitate, charging into the Demon enemy ranks with his weapon raised!
“Wei Guan, have you lost your mind? Killing your own kind is a capital offense! Do you want to die?”
Someone in the enemy ranks recognized this defecting Demon Lieutenant General and roared at him.
But Wei Guan, now Demon General No. 1, acted as if he hadn’t heard, raising his weapon and swinging it at the Demon soldiers beside him. With a single “Sweeping the Thousand Army” strike, over a dozen Demon soldiers were instantly slain!
