Days passed as Hazak continued to condense more and more miasma. As for Krune, he took short breaks while regenerating his Monster Gecko armor. During his breaks, he arrived at the Ralk family mansion using the secret tunnel and met with the people that had arrived to meet him.

Most of them were disabled warriors that were unable to fully heal due to the lack of Water Essence. After all, every Water Essence cost one Godly Point. For those at Tier 3 and beyond, a complete recovery required at least 50-100 Water Essences.

As for higher tiers, it was even worse. So, for those severely injured, they simply decided to retire, unwilling to waste their Godly Points. They exchanged them for Water Essence and stored them in their houses, willing to use them to heal the younger generation of their family when wounded.

It had more use that way, and youngsters were prone to injuries due to their mistakes.

But now, all such people arrived at the Ralk family mansion, generating a long queue that existed whether it was day or night, instantly making the place famous throughout the city. Krune's existence as a hero was announced throughout the city, and his spectacular powers caused everyone to hail him as a legendary figure.

Thanks to the red fishes, even if he emptied his energy reserves, a single meal was enough to replenish them completely. So, Krune was never worried about the number of people that arrived. If he needed more energy, he simply ate more.

After all, he had a massive reservoir full of red fish. Surprisingly, their population continued to expand, despite the heavy consumption. So, Krune had to eat that many anyway. Otherwise, they would simply go to waste.

After completing another round of healing, Krune walked away amidst innumerous cheers of gratitude for healing the warriors. Arriving at a room, he picked up the Black Demon horn, sensing through the Sonic Radar that there were two higher density concentrations within the horn.

Both of them were only the size of a rice grain. But, Krune knew what they were.

Tier 6 Demon Core Fragment!

It seemed the Demon God had carefully broken off two fragments from its Demon Core before embedding them into pieces of its horn that it broke off. Thanks to the miasma, the horns grew, covering the two Demon Core Fragments within it.

As for it, it was able to manipulate the miasma. After all, even Hazak was able to manipulate it to a certain extent. While taking time spanning decades, the Demon God had managed to regenerate its Demon Core back to completion.

As for the broken horn, it prevented it from absorbing any miasma to regenerate. Through its ability gained after living for around 2000 years in Layer 2, it created a plan and finally achieved it through the horn.

After that, it fought the old woman, defeated her, and left its horn with her. While the old woman returned to the city and healed her injuries, she placed the horn in the treasury. Due to its toughness, it couldn't even be scratched, despite everything she tried over the years.

Thanks to this, the Black Demon was able to siphon Spiritual Energy to begin cultivating. And now, its horns were in Krune's hands.

While holding it, he grinned as he muttered to himself, "It might not be possible for the old lady to damage it, but I surely can."

Krune said while taking out a knife. It was a Tier 5 Demon Arms, created using Hazak's hands. As he pressed onto the handle, it absorbed his blood, increasing his abilities further while a thin layer of ice formed on its blade.

Krune then began to saw through the horn, freezing it first to make it brittle. His powers allowed him to lower the temperature tremendously to the extent even the horn turned slightly brittle. After that, Krune spent a month sawing through it, finally bisecting it into two pieces as he cursed, "Just how strong is a Demon God? No wonder no one managed to kill one yet. Even for me, it seems impossible."

"Fortunately, that would no longer be the case." Grinning, Krune used his Sonic Radar, noticing that each of the severed halves contained a Demon Core each. He then continued to saw through them, finally fishing out both Demon Core fragments.

Once he was done, Krune brought one Demon Core fragment with him, arriving at the miasma-filled room, placing it within, watching the miasma swirl into it in an instant. There was no longer any miasma in the room a few seconds later.

Krune then began to shatter one ice sphere after another, causing the liquid miasma within to spill out. They were automatically sucked towards the Demon Core fragment, causing it to grow slightly. However, the growth was minuscule.

Krune commanded Hazak to work harder, causing the poor demon to work nonstop without rest. He then fed the Demon Core fragment one ice sphere after another. Eventually, after feeding it more than 700 such ice spheres, Krune gazed at the completed Demon Core before him.

When he supplied it with some more miasma, it began to condense a layer of flesh around. Scrapping away all the flesh, he grinned, feeding the Tier 6 Demon Core to the Essence Generator.

A couple of days later, it produced the Tier 6 Essence as Krune grinned. "Why must I face an impossible to defeat enemy when I can reap the benefits safely?"

He then swallowed the Tier 6 Essence, getting up as something within him seemed to have exploded. The Monster Gecko armor he wore almost behaved sentient, rippling excitedly as it began to evolve once again, absorbing some of the residue miasma in the room.

As his body weight continued to increase, Krune watched his Ocean Heart absorb the Essence, elevating his development effect once again. When he reached the peak of Tier 3 and hit the limit, his Development Effect was still able to give him 20 grams of weight every day.

When he attained the peak of Tier 4, the effect almost reached 100 grams. At the peak of Tier 5, it was around 350 grams. And now, Krune realized that even after hitting the peak of Tier 6, his development effect would still be able to give him a kilogram of weight every day.

"This is the power I would possess even after returning to the God Realm. With this, I can say that my body cultivation method is complete."
