...…
BOOOOOOOM!
An ear-splitting explosion reverberated, and a large mushroom cloud sprouted up from where the two elders' attacks landed, causing everything to go up in a pit of smoke!
"..." "..." "..."
All of the remaining disciples watched dozens of their own die as easily as that with dumbfounded looks on their faces.
"!!!" "!!!"
The Soul Transformation Realm Elders were absolutely livid at this bait and flee tactic performed by the weasel, as they were about to enter into a rampaged state.
At least, that was until a shadowy figure appeared right behind them with a cold gleam in his fiery red and black eyes.
"This is the end."
"!?" "!?"
The two Soul Transformation Realm Experts tried to turn their heads around in time; however, it was already far too late…
SHING!
A crisp, unsheathing sound echoed, and both of their heads were sliced clean off!
"!!!" "!!!"
Their Essence Souls attempted to flee from the scene, but it was no use, as they fell to the same fate as their physical forms…
After cleaning up the rest of the Golden Core Formation and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, Azmodeus received a wide number of system notifications.
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have killed over a hundred Golden Core Formation and Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators!*
*Ding!* *You have obtained 500 Billion Evolution Essence!*
*Ding!* *You have killed two Outer Deacon's of the Rank 7 River Serpent Sect.*

*Ding!* *The Trait Wheel for the Soul Transformation Realm Deacon has been spun!*
DING! DING! DING!
*Ding!* *You have landed on the 'Body Refinement Physique' Trait. Would you like to Assimilate the trait or spend ten times more and roll again?*
"Assimilate."
BLING!
*Ding!* *You have obtained the 'Body Refinement Physique (Early-Sky Rank Physique).*
*Ding!* *You have gained the ability to refine your body with spiritual herbs in order to increase your overall physical prowess. Furthermore, after achieving a certain number of herbs absorbed, you will be able to rank up your physique using Evolution Essence.*
*Ding!* *Your overall combat power has tremendously improved!*
Following all of these pop-ups, Azmodeus decided to check up on his system interface as well.
A bright blue and gold light flashed.
BLING!

After getting a good look at his system interface, Azmodeus decided to spend some of his Evolution Essence.
He dumped the majority of it into his Traits and Physiques while saving the rest for his level for when he needed to use it most.
Nevertheless, after spending a crap ton of Evolution Essence, a new system interface appeared in front of him.
BLING!

Following the allotment of around 1.1 trillion Evolution Essence, Azmodeus opted to save the rest.
Thereafter, he worked on what he was planning to do after this part of his plan succeeded.
"Time to go hunting."
After the release of a voice devoid of emotion, his immortal-like figure blurred from sight. After which, he headed in the direction of where all of his Mirror Mirages were being killed one after the other.
