Chapter 85: Extremely Cold Demon
During this period, every time Locke harvested 200,000 ink stones, he would return to Ye Mu Mansion to buy a purple crystal.

Over the past ten years, all the bandits within a thousand kilometers around the Ye Mufu have been cleared out by Locke.

All the inkstones he obtained, except for ensuring basic living, were exchanged for amethysts by Locke.

Over the past ten years, Locke had exchanged more than forty amethysts.

After completely refining these purple crystals, Locke's soul power finally reached the limit of his middle-level god.

Now, Locke's soul power is no worse than the consciousness of the superior god.

The distance of radiation has reached a range of one thousand kilometers.

With such soul strength, even if there were higher gods among the bandits, they would eventually be killed effortlessly by Locke.

It was also because of the death of the upper god bandit leader that the bandit gangs around Ye’s mansion eventually fled to other places to do business.

"Hey, I heard this from others."

This middle-level god named David really enjoyed everyone's compliments.

However, before speaking, he still put on a layer of armor to indicate that everything he said was hearsay and had nothing to do with him.

“I know, I know, I know…”

They are all foxes that have practiced for thousands of years. Who doesn’t know to hide his tail?
Therefore, David's words were simply ignored by everyone.

"Hey hey hey..."

David laughed foolishly a few times, then he straightened his throat under everyone's angry gazes.

"To talk about this, we have to start from three years ago..."

"At the beginning, a caravan I followed encountered a fleeing Saint."

"Everyone knows that the sanctuaries in the wild are either slaves who escaped from certain tribes, or the sanctuaries of certain gods whose avatars have died."

"Whether it's a slave or a fallen avatar of a god, they are all high-quality commodities for the caravan."

“So, under the command of the caravan leader, we captured the sanctuary.”

“From the mouth of this sanctuary, we learned that there was a terrifying strong man hiding near the Ye Mu Mansion.”

"Those bandits called this terrifying strong man the 'Extreme Cold Demon'."

"This is because all the bandit gangs that were killed by the Frost Demon have turned into solid icebergs."

"Even for a powerful upper god, it would be difficult to destroy the iceberg."

Hearing this, Locke smiled slightly.

He never thought that the first time he heard the name "devil" in hell would be on himself.

As for saying that even the higher gods find it difficult to destroy the iceberg, this is definitely an exaggeration.

Currently, Locke has only completed the mysterious fusion of the two laws, and his strength is comparable to that of a higher god.

The "Realm of God" has now been transformed by Locke into the "Realm of Extreme Cold". In Locke's Realm of Extreme Cold, all living beings within the realm will be attacked by cold air at the level of upper gods.

But when Locke withdrew his domain, the mountain top frozen by the cold was still very hard, but not to the extent that it was difficult for the higher gods to destroy it.

"According to that Saint, due to the pursuit of the Extreme Cold Demon, there are no more bandit gangs within a 10,000-kilometer radius around the Ye Mu Mansion."

"I see."

"That's what I was saying. When did my luck get so good? It turns out that the bandits around the Ye Shogunate have all been killed."

"But why is this extremely cold demon so keen on hunting down bandits?"

"Who knows? Maybe this extremely cold demon was hurt by bandits when he was a child, and when he grew up and cultivated successfully, he came back to seek revenge."

"You can't be eyeing the small fortunes in the hands of those robbers, right?"

"That's true." "According to the Sanctuary Master of that robber, he was frozen to death before he even saw the face of the Frost Demon."

"If he hadn't been more thoughtful and sent his own holy domain body to another place, he might have died now."

"Tsk tsk..."

"So what happened to this guy?"

"What else can I do? I signed a slave agreement with the caravan. The caravan gave him a mid-level godhead, letting him refine it to restore his strength, and then work for the Chamber of Commerce..."

Listening to these people talking nonsense, Locke chuckled in his heart.

If these people were in my previous life, they would definitely be poor students.

They are all very talented at eliminating options that are correct answers.

Unfortunately, I am not a revenger whose family was destroyed by robbers, nor am I a saint with high moral standards.

I am just a robber who plunders the resources of those robbers who often plunder others' resources in order to obtain more resources for cultivation.

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

The way of man is not to lose enough but to give more than enough.

Since he is a "god", Locke naturally has to follow the "Way of Heaven" and make up for his own "deficiencies" by reducing the surplus of others.

At this time, Locke's meal had also been delivered.

While eating, Locke was thinking in his mind.

"I have almost wiped out all the bandits around the Ye Shogunate."

"I won't gain anything if I continue to stay here."

“It’s time to move on.”

"With my current wealth, I can't afford metal life."

"However, by the time I reach the next prefecture, I will have collected enough inkstones to buy metal life."

"In the following time, we will slowly move to the next prefecture."

"Now that my soul has fully recovered, I am not in a hurry to travel. I will just treat it as a trip, practicing while having fun."

"At present, I have only comprehended three of the six mysteries of the water system."

"The fusion of the mysteries of the laws only combines two."

"I haven't comprehended the mysteries of the laws, but there are still water techniques, the mysteries of waves, and the mysteries of roundness and softness..."

"Among them, water body technique is the primary mystery, wave mystery is the intermediate mystery, and round and soft mystery is the advanced mystery."

"Well, these three mysteries of the laws are deeply connected to the mystery of the water element. Once you comprehend them, it will be easy to find the points of convergence between the mysteries of the laws and the mystery of the water element."

After leaving the inn, Locke went to Bauhinia Castle again, sold some things he didn't need at a discount, and bought three amethysts.

Although Locke's soul has now been raised to its current limit, it does not mean that amethyst is useless to Locke.

You know, Locke is a person with extremely high spiritual attainments.

Such people are extremely popular in both the divine plane and the supreme plane.

This is because only those who have achieved a certain level of spiritual attainment can refine soul-defending artifacts.

Unfortunately, Locke is one of such people!

To refine a soul defense artifact, with Locke's current soul power, he can only refine a mid-level soul defense artifact at best.
