Cultivating To Immortality

Fang Hong dared not show the slightest slack and resolutely sacrificed a Turtle Shell Talisman, activating it with all his might.

In an instant, three golden turtle shells floated beside him, forming an extremely strong shield that firmly protected him.

Swoosh!

As soon as Fang Hong activated the Turtle Shell Talisman, he saw the Golden-winged Bird transform into several golden light shadows, appearing behind him in an instant, its bird face sneering, and its palm turning into a golden claw, striking hard on the turtle shells.

Bang!

With a loud crunch, before Fang Hong could react, he was sent flying dozens of meters.

"What incredible speed." Fang Hong flew backward, his face full of shock.

The speed of an eighth-level demonic beast was much faster than he had anticipated.

Moreover, this was just the Golden-winged Bird's ordinary evasion technique; if it could fly in the sky, its speed would probably be even faster.

At this moment, the three turtle shells beside Fang Hong already had cracks, and their spiritual light flickered unsteadily. Fortunately, they blocked that extremely fierce blow, saving Fang Hong's life.

"Hmm? He's not dead? What exactly are those turtle shells around that kid?" The Golden-winged Bird was surprised to see Fang Hong still alive and well.

A Core Formation Stage human ant actually managed to block its surprise attack, which made it feel humiliated.

The Golden-winged Bird's anger surged, its Demonic Qi rapidly increasing around him, and it lunged at Fang Hong again, its speed even faster than before.

At the critical moment, Fang Hong quickly sacrificed a Wood Escape Talisman.

The Wood Escape Talisman transformed into a green light, instantly enveloping him entirely, then plunged into the yellow sand below, making his escape.

He finally experienced the power of the Nascent Soul Realm firsthand today. With his current strength, he was completely unable to resist, so it was better to escape quickly.

"You won't escape."

The Golden-winged Bird's eyes widened in fury, watching Fang Hong disappear into the sand, its heart raging like thunder.

It let out an angry roar to the sky, then fiercely unleashed several golden Qi blades, striking hard at the location where Fang Hong had fled.

Boom!

In an instant, the sand exploded, and several huge cracks, several meters deep, were cut in the direction Fang Hong had fled, with yellow sand churning endlessly.

But when the Golden-winged Bird leaned down to investigate, it found that Fang Hong's tracks had long disappeared without a trace, leaving only an empty sand pit with no aura.

Roar.

The Golden-winged Bird roared to the sky, its fierce aura soaring, its heart filled with unwillingness.

A prey that was almost within his grasp, he actually let him slip away like this?

The Golden-winged Bird immediately released its powerful Divine Sense, covering tens of miles, and finally locked onto Fang Hong's aura in the distance, chasing after that direction at extreme speed without hesitation.

Although Fang Hong escaped extremely quickly with the Wood Escape Talisman, covering seven or eight li in an instant, the Golden-winged Bird was an eighth-level demonic beast after all, and its Divine Sense was far beyond his.

Even several miles away, it could still sense his presence.

Therefore, after Fang Hong used the first Wood Escape Talisman, he did not stop at all, changed direction, and activated another Wood Escape Talisman, continuing to flee into the distance until he completely escaped the Golden-winged Bird's Divine Sense lock.

The Golden-winged Bird could not fly now, so no matter how fast it was, it couldn't reach seven or eight li in an instant.

Fang Hong had hunted many seventh-level demonic beasts a while ago and refined a total of one hundred and twenty Wood Escape Talismans, which was more than enough to shake off the Golden-winged Bird's pursuit.

"Damn it. How does this kid have so many evasion talismans? He's getting further and further away."

The Golden-winged Bird chasing from behind had already noticed Fang Hong getting further and further away, and was greatly astonished.

If it could fly now, it definitely wouldn't let this Fang Hong get away, but unfortunately, it couldn't fly now.

Finally, after Fang Hong continuously used ten Wood Escape Talismans, the Golden-winged Bird completely lost track of Fang Hong's exact location, allowing Fang Hong to successfully escape.

Roar.

The Golden-winged Bird stood on the sand, roaring to the sky. It had thought its prey was within its grasp, but it had escaped just like that, leaving it very displeased.

Just as the Golden-winged Bird was consumed by rage, the sand in front suddenly surged, and a group of Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons rushed out, fearlessly pouncing on it.

The Golden-winged Bird was already furious, and seeing this group of scorpions act so recklessly, it unleashed several golden Qi blades in an uncontrollable rage.

In the blink of an eye, the group of Bloodthirsty Scorpion Demons were torn into countless pieces.

The Golden-winged Bird opened its mouth, sucked the red pearl into its mouth, then grumbled and left.

Meanwhile, dozens of miles away, a green light quietly flashed, and Fang Hong emerged from beneath the sand, letting out a long sigh of relief. He had finally shaken off the bird-man's aura lock.

Fang Hong dared not stay here and immediately took out his four-wheeled vehicle, quickly escaping the area.

He no longer dared to collect fire spirit pearls in the desert, lest he encounter that bird-man again. It was better to leave the Underworld Desert quickly and proceed to the next layer.

...

Another day passed, and Fang Hong finally reached the end of the desert, where a teleportation array platform appeared.

Fang Hong stepped onto the teleportation array without hesitation, leaving the Underworld Desert space without incident.

After a flash of white light, the scene before Fang Hong's eyes constantly changed, and eventually, he was teleported to an unfamiliar space again.

"This is..." Fang Hong looked around, stunned for a moment.

He was standing in front of a magnificent palace gate, and this palace seemed to be built above the clouds, like a heavenly palace, with a grand, solemn, and sacred aura.

Fang Hong stood on the stone steps in front of the palace, looking up, and saw three golden shining characters carved at the top of the palace.

Ancient Treasure House.

"It seems like this is the reward for passing the second trial." Fang Hong's heart rejoiced.

Xiao Yu had mentioned that as long as one successfully passed the second trial, they would have the opportunity to enter the Ancient Treasure House and receive an ancient treasure as a reward.

Fang Hong no longer delayed and slowly placed his hand on the palace gate.

To his surprise, his palm easily passed through the palace gate, as if touching a layer of water, without any obstruction.

Seeing this, Fang Hong directly strode through the gate, and after a flash of light, successfully entered the palace.

"My heavens. So many ancient treasures."

When Fang Hong saw the scene inside the palace, he was utterly stunned, his mouth agape, speechless, his eyes almost popping out.

The palace interior was very spacious, hundreds of meters high and wide.

And in the sky above the palace, various colorful ancient treasures floated, estimated to be over a thousand items, of all types: swords, spears, and so on.

These ancient treasures floated in the air, tightly protected by a layer of white light shield. As long as one could break the light shield, they could obtain the ancient treasure inside.

"Phew."

Fang Hong took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then immediately used his Divine Sense to perceive these ancient treasures, carefully selecting them.

Although there were many ancient treasures, according to Xiao Yu, each person could only take one ancient treasure from the Ancient Treasure House. Once successfully taken, they would be teleported to the third floor of the Dragon Palace.
