Cultivating To Immortality

Fang Hong's expression grew solemn, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

Xiao Yu had once reminded him that Demon Corpse City was one of the most dangerous places in the Dragon Palace's trial space, known as the 'City of Curses,' and certainly not an ordinary place.

This eerie city had been cursed by the Dragon God, and within it lurked a multitude of endless Demonic Corpses that would launch frenzied attacks on challengers without warning.

Moreover, the weakest of these Demonic Corpses possessed the strength of a Core Formation Stage peak, while the stronger ones had even reached a terrifying level comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Fang Hong heightened his vigilance and ran towards Demon Corpse City.

Although the path ahead was fraught with danger, he did not hesitate. As the saying goes, 'wealth is found in danger.' As long as he passed this trial, he could enter the next level, the Immortal Herb Garden.

The Immortal Herb Garden was the reward space on the third floor of the Dragon Palace. According to Xiao Yu, it contained a large number of rare spirit medicines, and he might even gain something there.

...

Soon, Fang Hong arrived in Demon Corpse City. He walked cautiously through an alley, surrounded by damaged houses and pavilions.

The sky above was overcast, sunlight was scarce, and everything felt oppressive and gloomy; the entire city exuded an eerie aura.

To ensure his own safety, Fang Hong took out a Turtle Shell Talisman from his storage bag. With a gentle activation, three turtle shells floated beside him.

Once activated, the Turtle Shell Talisman could last for six hours unless actively dispelled, guaranteeing safety during that time.

Fang Hong was quite satisfied with the defensive power of the Turtle Shell Talisman; its ability to withstand a blow from a Golden-winged Bird without breaking showed its remarkable toughness.

Rumble.

After Fang Hong had walked for several miles, danger still found him. The ground around him began to shake, and he immediately stopped, concentrating and staying alert.

He saw the ground ahead quickly bulge, and as black earth churned, black mounds rose up, as if something was breaking out of the ground.

Under Fang Hong's surprised gaze, grotesque humanoid Demonic Corpses suddenly emerged from underground.

Fang Hong looked closely; these Demonic Corpses had dark purple skin and human-like physiques, but with a pair of blood-red eyes and sharp black claws, making them look somewhat ferocious.

"Awoo awoo awoo."

As soon as the Demonic Corpses appeared, they roared to the sky, letting out piercing, sharp screeches.

They all turned their heads, quickly locking their gaze on Fang Hong, then swayed their bodies with extremely slow movements, pouncing towards him.

Fang Hong frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Judging by the aura emanating from these Demonic Corpses, they indeed all possessed the strength of a Core Formation Stage peak, not to be underestimated.

However, their speed was too slow, wasn't it? How could such a sluggish speed possibly hit anyone?

Just as Fang Hong thought this, several "whooshing" sounds suddenly came from ahead. The originally slow-moving Demonic Corpses instantly transformed into several black shadows, pouncing before him like ghosts, their sharp claws striking out violently.

Fang Hong was greatly alarmed. His magical power circulated rapidly within his body, and with a flicker, he swiftly retreated, narrowly avoiding the sudden attack.

Bang!

With a loud crash, the zombie demon's claw strike hit the nearby house, which instantly collapsed and exploded.

"Such incredible speed. And their attack power is extremely astonishing." Fang Hong smiled bitterly in his heart. It turned out their slow movements earlier were a disguise.

If he had been fooled by them and acted carelessly, he would have been in big trouble.

The zombie demons continued to pounce and kill, and more kept emerging from underground, seemingly endless.

Fang Hong flicked his fingertip, and hundreds of scorching firebirds appeared behind him, fiercely smashing towards the attacking zombie demons.

Boom boom boom.

The firebirds sent the zombie demons flying, explosions rang out incessantly, and flames soared into the sky, completely destroying the surrounding dilapidated houses.

In the ruins, the smashed zombie demons pushed aside the rubble and stood up completely unharmed, continuing to pounce and kill Fang Hong, their skin not even scorched.

Seeing this, Fang Hong was somewhat surprised. He continued to cast spells, raising a hand and waving it, and countless ice spikes descended from the sky, fiercely landing on the zombie demons.

The zombie demons were forced to stop, using their arms to shield their bodies. Their bodies glowed with an eerie purple light, and the sharp ice spikes that landed on them instantly shattered, having no effect.

"Indeed, the skin of these Demonic Corpses is incredibly hard. Ordinary spells have no effect on them at all." Fang Hong immediately judged the zombie demons' strength.

He immediately brought out the Heavenly Thunder Needle and cast the Thousand Shadows Heart Piercing Technique, and thousands of needle shadows fiercely attacked the zombie demons.

Since spell attacks had no effect on them, he could only use weapons to eliminate them.

Soon, the Spiritual Treasure's effect became apparent.

The zombie demons screamed repeatedly under the Heavenly Thunder Needle's assault, their bodies pierced with countless holes, purple-black blood splattering, one after another falling into pools of blood.

After they fell to the ground, just like the demonic beasts on the first and second levels, they transformed into a wisp of black Qi and dissipated into the air, leaving no corpses, only a purple bead in their place.

Fang Hong's expression was calm, clearly having expected this.

He continued to use the Heavenly Thunder Needle to slay these zombie demons, swiftly eliminating any new ones that emerged from the ground, not allowing them to approach even half a step.

He refused to believe that these zombie demons truly couldn't be completely eliminated?

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

In front of Fang Hong's sharp Heavenly Thunder Needle, these zombie demons had little power to resist, falling one after another. Before long, the ground finally quieted down, and no more demonic creatures emerged.

Fang Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief and retracted the Heavenly Thunder Needle.

If these demonic creatures could truly be born infinitely, then he would have no choice but to flee in disarray.

Fang Hong picked up a purple round bead and used his Divine Sense to probe its mysteries, discovering that it contained a rich and pure Devilish Qi. This was definitely a spirit pill and spirit medicine for cultivators who cultivate Demonic Techniques.

But unfortunately, Fang Hong did not cultivate Demonic Techniques, so he could only put it away; perhaps he could use it for trading in the future.

Fang Hong set off again, continuing deeper into Demon Corpse City.

The city's scope was extremely vast; Fang Hong estimated it would take at least five more days to completely Transmigration the entire city.

...

Four days later, Fang Hong finally reached the latter half of Demon Corpse City, not far from the end.

During these four days, he encountered many more demonic creatures, but they were all Core Formation Stage demonic creatures, which he easily slew. He had not yet encountered any Nascent Soul Stage demonic creatures, which was good news.

At this moment, Fang Hong arrived on an incredibly wide street. As soon as he stepped onto it, low beast roars suddenly came from all around.

Fang Hong's gaze swept around, and he immediately saw a large number of massive "Three-Headed Demonic Wolves" rushing out from all sides of the street.

Each Demonic Wolf was three to four zhang tall, with blood-red fur bristling all over its body. Its three ferocious heads opened their gaping maws, fangs bared, exuding an imposing aura.

A rough glance showed nearly a hundred of them, and the aura of each one had reached the Core Formation Stage peak.

"Sigh, these demonic creatures really are persistent." Fang Hong sighed softly, brought out the Heavenly Thunder Needle, and transformed it into a weapon, charging towards the Demonic Wolves.
