Chapter 164 - 164: Peak Nascent Soul
Fang Hong felt the time was right, so he began to "close the net."
He immediately activated the formation he had set up in advance, sealing the sky and locking the earth, instantly sealing off the entire sea area and trapping all the Demon Beasts within.
Killed.
Killed.
Killed.
Fang Hong suddenly appeared, activating the Heavenly Thunder Needle and the Four Symbols Formation Spirit simultaneously, using thunderous tactics to slaughter them madly.
The surrounding Demon Beasts were stunned by this sight; how could it be a human?
Some rank 7 Demon Beasts with slightly higher intelligence finally realized that they had long fallen into Fang Hong's trap.
They shrieked in panic, attempting to flee in haste, but by then, it was too late.
Fang Hong had already firmly sealed off the surrounding sea area, making it impossible to escape even by diving into the seabed.
Roar.
Roar.
Desperate screams echoed between the sky and the sea. In front of Fang Hong's powerful Cultivation, these low-grade Demon Beasts had no ability to resist and were mercilessly harvested one by one.
In a short while, over five thousand Demon Beasts were all dead, their bodies floating on the sea surface. Their demon blood stained the surrounding sea area red, forming a horrifying scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Fang Hong floated above the sea of blood, his expression cold. He took out the demon gourd and absorbed all the Demon Beast corpses below into the demon gourd, refining them into spirit pills.
Fang Hong retrieved the demon gourd, and a look of satisfaction finally appeared on his face.
This time, he had harvested over five thousand spirit pills.
In Fang Hong's view, Demon Beasts were merely resources on the path of Cultivation; the more there were, the faster his strength could ascend.
Afterward, Fang Hong left the Golden Winged King's Immortal Cave without any lingering attachment.
This sea area was now thoroughly stained with demon blood, so no Demon Beasts should come here for a while.
With a thought, he decided to find another island to continue his path of slaying Demon Beasts and refining pills.
Fang Hong flew through the air, crossing the azure sea. After flying for a full hour, he arrived at another unfamiliar sea area.
As usual, he began to set up a formation, with layers of restrictions tightly sealing it off. Then, he took out the demon blood left by the Golden Winged King and, according to a secret method, threw it into the sea as bait to attract Demon Beasts.
After setting everything up, Fang Hong quietly hid outside the formation, continuing to absorb the spirit pills he had refined earlier while waiting for his prey to fall into the trap.
However, after waiting for a day, Fang Hong was surprised to find that not a single Demon Beast appeared in the entire sea area.
Logically, such a vast sea area couldn't possibly have only a few thousand Demon Beasts.
Could it be that the Golden Winged King's demon blood had lost its effect?
With doubts in his mind, Fang Hong moved to a more distant sea area, set up a formation and threw blood again, waiting patiently.
He waited for another two days, but still no sign of Demon Beasts. The sea wind whimpered, silent as death.
This sight made Fang Hong frown, feeling quite frustrated.
Only then did he realize that the Demonic King could only summon a limited number of Demon Beasts.
Since the Golden Winged King's demon blood had become ineffective, Fang Hong had no choice but to try the demon blood of the other two Demonic Kings and continue hunting.
However, before that, Fang Hong decided to first go to the Immortal Caves of these two Demonic Kings to investigate.
Since the Demonic Kings were already dead, the resources they left behind should not be wasted.
…
A month passed in a flash, and Fang Hong had already set up his temporary residence within the Azure Whale King's Immortal Cave.
During this time, he not only thoroughly plundered the Immortal Caves of the Eight-Armed Beast King and the Azure Whale King but also acquired a good amount of cultivation resources.
There were over twenty thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones alone, in addition to a large quantity of seabed mineral materials and eleven Low-Grade spiritual artifacts.
Fang Hong's current wealth could be described as extremely rich. In terms of spirit stones, if calculated in low-grade spirit stoness, he had accumulated over three million.
As for spiritual artifacts, Fang Hong had also accumulated dozens of them, all ordinary spiritual artifacts. Fang Hong was too lazy to refine them one by one, so he simply threw them all into his storage bag, letting them gather dust in a corner.
Besides these, there were also a large number of seabed artifact refining materials, so he wouldn't have to worry about materials when refining formation tools in the future.
Along the way, Fang Hong was a ruthless plunderer; wherever he went, not a blade of grass grew, and all Immortal Caves were emptied.
One can only say that those great Demon Beasts were unlucky to encounter Fang Hong.
At this moment, in a secret chamber deep within the Azure Whale King's Immortal Cave, Fang Hong sat quietly within the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, intending to focus on absorbing the Demon Beast spirit pills he possessed.
Besides plundering, Fang Hong had not been idle during this period. Using the demon blood left by the Eight-Armed Beast King and the Azure Whale King, he again used a secret art to lure and kill over ten thousand Demon Beasts.
Now, Fang Hong had accumulated a large number of Demon Beast spirit pills. If he could refine and absorb them all, his Cultivation would surely advance further.
Fang Hong took out a rank 7 spirit pill from his storage bag, put it into his mouth, then closed his eyes and began to circulate his Qi to absorb the spirit pill.
…
Time passed quietly in the dull and monotonous closed-door Cultivation. In the blink of an eye, another half a year had gone by.
Boom.
One day, a huge sound suddenly came from the Azure Whale King's Immortal Cave, and a brilliant golden light shot up into the sky, like a scorching sun, illuminating the entire sea area.
After the golden light dissipated, Fang Hong's figure slowly appeared high in the sky. His entire aura had undergone earth-shattering changes again; golden light flowed around his body, and his magical power fluctuated like a raging tide.
During these six months of closed-door Cultivation, Fang Hong had absorbed all ten thousand Demon Beast spirit pills, and his Cultivation had successfully broken through to Nascent Soul Peak. His magical power had increased several times compared to six months ago, and the true essence within his body was extremely abundant.
In terms of Divine Sense and physical body strength, they had also greatly improved through the daily tempering of the Soul Nurturing Pearl and the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron.
As for whether he had reached the legendary Divine Transformation Realm, Fang Hong himself found it difficult to judge.
Because he had never felt a Divine Transformation cultivator up close, he didn't know the strength of a Divine Transformation cultivator and couldn't make a comparison.
But no matter what, Fang Hong now felt unprecedentedly powerful. As long as he didn't encounter a Divine Transformation cultivator, he could act as if ruled the world.
Fang Hong looked around, locked onto a direction to the east, and with a thought, he transformed into a streak of light, heading straight for the Dragon King's Immortal Cave.
Now that he had reached Nascent Soul perfection, after he dealt with the last Demonic King, it would be time to return to the Heavenly Azure Continent.
Fang Hong wanted to go back and flatten the entire Zhao. The Zhao Emperor had sent assassins to kill him back then, and he had always kept that grudge in his heart.
…
Following the residual memories of the several Demonic Kings, Fang Hong traveled eastward, crossing endless sea areas, flying for a full half a month, and finally arrived at the Dragon King's island.
This time, Fang Hong did not deliberately hide his aura but flew directly above the island, descending forcefully with an extremely dominant posture.
The current Fang Hong no longer needed to play any tricks or schemes. Facing a mere rank 10 Demonic King, a frontal assault was already enough.
