Cultivating To Immortality

Being beaten so miserably on his own territory, the Golden-winged Bird's anger almost reached its boiling point.

He glared, his hair bristling, and let out a furious roar, suddenly summoning a golden, shimmering long spear from within his body and thrusting it towards Fang Hong.

"Die, die, die..."

The Golden-winged Bird's face was distorted and ferocious, his rage soaring.

While roaring, he wielded the golden long spear in his hand, spear shadows falling like rain, layer upon layer, stirring up tens of thousands of sharp spear auras in the air, forming an impenetrable golden killing formation that swept towards Fang Hong.

Ding. Ding. Ding.

As the spear shadows attacked, Fang Hong remained calm, without a trace of fear.

He merely extended a single finger, effortlessly blocking all the spear shadows, causing sparks to fly.

The more the Golden-winged Bird swung his long spear, the more his heart pounded.

Was this guy even human?

That seemingly ordinary physical body was so powerful that he could use a single finger to withstand the full force of his spear auras.

Even the Turtle Demon, known for its physical body defense among the demon race, couldn't be this strong, could he?

"Hmph."

The Golden-winged Bird roared, his voice shaking the valley, and exerted all his strength, his entire body shooting forward, thrusting the long spear violently towards Fang Hong's head, his killing intent chilling.

Buzz.

After a loud buzzing sound, Fang Hong only used two fingers to clamp the tip of the spear, preventing it from advancing another inch.

"No, impossible."

The Golden-winged Bird's expression changed drastically, his face twitching violently, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"A high-grade spiritual artifact found in the ancient treasure house? Not bad, now it's mine." Fang Hong smiled, exerting a little force with his fingertips, directly snatching the golden long spear from the Golden-winged Bird's hand.

The Golden-winged Bird immediately felt a huge brute force coming from the spear, instantly pulling his entire body forward, scaring him into quickly retreating, no longer caring about the long spear.

Fang Hong then summoned his fire cloud gourd, collecting the golden long spear, thus acquiring another high-grade spiritual artifact.

"You, what kind of monster are you?" The Golden-winged Bird looked at Fang Hong with a face full of horror.

"Revert to your true form. In your current state, you're not enough for me to fight." Fang Hong put away the fire cloud gourd and said with a calm expression.

"As you wish."

Roar.

The Golden-winged Bird no longer dared to underestimate Fang Hong in the slightest, letting out a furious roar, and after a flash of golden light, he reverted to his true form as a Golden-winged Bird.

After advancing to the ninth level, the Golden-winged Bird's true form had grown considerably, with a wingspan of two to three hundred feet, his pair of wings gleaming with golden light.

"Arrogant human. Watch me."

After reverting to his true form, the Golden-winged Bird's confidence greatly increased, and he was about to unleash a Divine Power to crush Fang Hong. However, before he could finish speaking, an unexpected change occurred.

Fang Hong remained calm, slowly raising his hand, and gently flicked his fingertip.

The next moment, only a sharp "ding" sound was heard, and the Golden-winged Bird's massive head instantly separated from its body, blood gushing out and staining the sky.

"If you don't revert to your true form, how can I dismantle your wings?" Fang Hong said with a faint smile, his tone unhurried.

This strike was precisely the top-tier spell he unleashed for instant kill—the "Spirit Void Slash."

Its speed and power were so immense that it instantly severed the Golden-winged Bird's neck, without any hesitation.

"Ugh, ugh..." The Golden-winged Bird's eyes widened, his expression horrified, never having imagined that he would be beheaded instantly in his true form.

He was now completely terrified of Fang Hong.

To save his life, the Golden-winged Bird quickly mobilized the demon core within his body, stripping his innate demon soul from his physical body. The demon core transformed into a golden streak of light and fled into the distance.

His massive, headless body crashed down, creating a deep pit.

Fang Hong had been waiting for this moment and gave him no chance to escape, immediately unleashing his fastest escape speed to pursue him.

Soon, he caught the Golden-winged Bird's demon soul.

"Damn human. If you kill me, my Father King will definitely not let you go." The Golden-winged Bird's demon soul roared in a mix of shock, anger, and fear.

"Father King? So that's it. It seems the 'Golden Winged King' among the Four Great Demon Kings is your father." Fang Hong nodded slightly, enlightened.

"Don't worry, your dad will soon join you." Fang Hong smiled indifferently, not taking the Golden-winged Bird's threat to heart at all.

Upon hearing this, the Golden-winged Bird's demon soul became even more terrified, its entire soul image beginning to tremble violently. Could this human actually dare to challenge its father?

Fang Hong took out a jade bottle spiritual artifact, entirely green, and sealed the Golden-winged Bird's demon soul within it.

The second great demon, successfully hunted.

Fang Hong returned to the Golden-winged Bird's massive corpse and began to carefully process the spoils of war.

First, he collected the demon blood. This was the demon blood of a ninth-level demonic beast, extremely precious.

Even more rare was that this Golden-winged Bird possessed both gold and wind attributes, which could also be used to strengthen the Four Symbols Formation.

If he could gather four kinds of ninth-level demon blood and properly strengthen the Four Symbols Formation, its power would probably be enough to trap even a tenth-level Demon King, right?

Thinking of this, a hint of anticipation welled up in Fang Hong's heart.

After collecting the demon blood, Fang Hong then unhesitatingly cut off the pair of golden, shimmering giant wings and stored them securely in his storage bag.

These wings were excellent artifact refining materials; he could refine them into a decent flying spiritual artifact another day.

After collecting the wings, Fang Hong also cut off the Golden-winged Bird's hard, sharp claws, which were also precious artifact refining materials.

Finally, Fang Hong took out the demon gourd and absorbed the entire corpse into it, refining it into a ninth-level demonic beast spirit pill.

After all this, Fang Hong closed his eyes for a moment, fully extending his Divine Sense, and quickly pinpointed the location of the Golden-winged Bird's Immortal Cave.

His figure flickered, and he flew up, heading straight for that Immortal Cave, intending to conduct another thorough search.

The Golden-winged Bird's Immortal Cave was built in a valley, where there was actually a natural Spirit Spring. The spiritual energy was unusually abundant, and the scenery was also beautiful, no wonder the Golden-winged Bird chose this place as his Immortal Cave.

The Immortal Cave had no defensive measures, and Fang Hong easily entered its interior. After a thorough search, he once again found many good things.

He found forty thousand low-grade spirit stoness, a pile of mineral materials from the seabed, and six Low-Grade spiritual artifacts.

The spirit stones and spiritual artifacts naturally go without saying; no one would ever have too many. As for the pile of mineral materials, those were the real good things.

This pile of mineral materials had many types, among which two relatively precious materials caught Fang Hong's attention, "Azure spirit stone" and "Golden Essence Sand."

These two materials generally originated from the extremely deep seabed and were also top-grade materials for artifact refining, even better in quality than the glass sand he had obtained before.

Now with these materials, combined with the Golden-winged Bird's bone wings, he could refine another decent spiritual artifact.
