Cultivating To Immortality

Fang Hong casually fed the two recently slain Dragon Demon Beast corpses to his demon gourd, refining them into two rank nine spirit pills.

He no longer delayed, immediately activated his Swift Wind Secret Technique, transforming into an afterimage, and pursued Tang Tian.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In just a few breaths, Fang Hong reappeared before Tang Tian, a smile playing on his lips.

"It's time for this to end."

As his voice faded, Fang Hong lightly flicked his fingertip, suddenly unleashing an Spirit Void Slash at Tang Tian.

Slash! Slash!

The invisible slash cut through the air, instantly sending Tang Tian flying, and he crashed heavily onto a desolate island not far away, creating a massive deep pit, with stones flying and dust billowing.

Fang Hong was slightly stunned, a little surprised; this attack actually failed to kill Tang Tian directly?

Clearly, this old demon was wearing some powerful protective spiritual artifact, which blocked most of the killing power.

Fang Hong's figure flickered, landing on the desolate island, only to see Tang Tian rise from the rubble, a layer of crimson armor appearing on his body—that was the spiritual artifact that had blocked the Spirit Void Slash.

However, the center of the blood armor had already been shattered, and a bloody gash had been cut into Tang Tian's chest, making him look exceptionally miserable.

Tang Tian roared, making a final desperate struggle, as blood-red light ignited all over his body, and with a "whoosh," he actually manifested two identical Demonic avatars.

Seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Fang Hong's eyes.

These two Demonic avatars were actually the same as the main body, both at the Nascent Soul Peak cultivation rank, which made him even more interested in the Demonic Technique Tang Tian cultivated.

To be able to condense such avatars, Tang Tian's demonic technique must not be simple, perhaps even a higher level of demonic technique.

The three Tang Tian roared in unison, their figures erupting, and they charged at Fang Hong, their demonic flames soaring.

Wherever the blazing demonic flames passed, even the rocks on the ground were instantly melted into lava, an incredibly terrifying sight.

Fang Hong remained unhurried, raising his hand to summon the Heavenly Thunder Needle, which, with a flash of golden light, transformed into a sharp golden spear, and he began a fierce battle with Tang Tian.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A series of roars sounded; while both were at the Nascent Soul Peak, Fang Hong's magical power, physical body strength, and Divine Sense far surpassed Tang Tian's, and the two avatars simply could not bridge this gap.

In just a few rounds, Fang Hong spotted an opening and pierced the chest of the left avatar with a spear.

Immediately after, his figure spun, a flash of lightning, and the second spear shattered the other avatar into a sky full of blood mist.

Finally, Fang Hong's golden spear was like a Dragon, piercing through Tang Tian's main body's chest, and fresh blood gushed out.

Tang Tian's pupils constricted, his face filled with despair, and he knelt on the ground.

Tang Tian's Nascent Soul wanted to escape, but in front of Fang Hong's escape technique, everything was futile; Tang Tian was completely defeated, and his Nascent Soul was thoroughly captured by Fang Hong.

"Damn it. I curse you. I curse you to never step into Divine Transformation for all eternity."

Tang Tian knew he was beyond saving, so he began to curse Fang Hong madly.

He had killed countless people in his life and knew that Fang Hong would never let him go, unless Fang Hong was a fool.

Upon hearing the curse, Fang Hong smiled.

"If your curse were effective, you would have already advanced to Divine Transformation."

With that, Fang Hong took out a jade bottle spiritual artifact, sealed Tang Tian's Nascent Soul inside, and planned to deal with it another day.

After doing all this, Fang Hong returned to Tang Tian's corpse, reached out and removed the black cloak from his body, examined it carefully, and discovered that it was actually a high-grade flying spiritual artifact.

Although it couldn't compare to his Swift Wind Wings, it was still a good treasure.

Fang Hong put away the cloak, then searched the corpse and finally found Tang Tian's storage bag.

With a sweep of his Divine Sense, Fang Hong's eyes immediately lit up.

The internal space of Tang Tian's storage bag was extremely vast; it could definitely hold a small mountain without a problem.

Various items floated within the storage bag: spirit stones, spiritual artifacts, cultivation techniques, medicinal pills, materials—everything imaginable, a dazzling array.

"As expected of the number one old demon of the Azure Wave Sea, his family fortune is truly abundant," Fang Hong said with a smirk, feeling quite pleased.

In terms of spirit stones, Tang Tian carried five thousand mid-grade spirit stones, which was an astonishing fortune.

In terms of spiritual artifacts, there were more than a dozen, all medium to low-grade spiritual artifacts, likely obtained by Tang Tian through killing and plundering; with Fang Hong's current discerning eye, he naturally didn't care for these things, but collecting them was still good.

The cultivation techniques were particularly astonishing.

This old demon had annihilated countless sects, and his storage bag contained a large number of cultivation techniques, from Qi Refinement Stage to Nascent Soul Stage, several hundred of them, and his own cultivated Demonic Technique was also among them.

Fang Hong took out a purple jade slip, used his Divine Sense to examine its contents, and after reading it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The purple jade slip recorded the Demonic Technique Tang Tian cultivated, named "Dark Demonic Transformation Technique," which was indeed an earth level cultivation technique, capable of cultivating directly to the Nascent Soul Stage.

The Divine Transformation Stage cultivation technique that Fang Hong had been yearning for was obtained so quickly.

However, he had never cultivated a Demonic Technique, so this cultivation technique would be good for reference.

Fang Hong put away the jade slip, planning to study it slowly another day.

Besides spirit stones, spiritual artifacts, and cultivation techniques, the storage bag also contained various artifact refining materials, Demon Beast Cores, pill formulas, talismans, and more.

Among the talismans that Fang Hong was more interested in, there were two top-grade talismans, Spirit Armor talisman and Spirit Descent talisman.

The Spirit Armor talisman, like the Turtle Shell Talisman Fang Hong obtained, was a top-grade defensive talisman, and its effects should be similar.

As for the Spirit Descent talisman, it was a good talisman, refined from the spirits of high-grade Demonic Beasts; after use, one could obtain most of the Demon Beast's power.

Fang Hong currently had a large number of high-grade Demon Beast souls in his possession.

If the Dragon King's soul were refined into a Spirit Descent talisman and given to a Nascent Soul Early Stage cultivator, it could allow him to temporarily gain the strength of a Nascent Soul Late Stage, thereby enabling him to fight across realms.

Although the talismans were good, for Fang Hong now, they were tasteless to eat and a pity to discard; it didn't matter whether he refined them or not.

Besides top-grade talismans, there were also various advanced talismans, such as Earth Escape talismans, Void Escape talismans, and Divine Speed talismans.

Fang Hong guessed that these might all be the inheritance Tang Tian obtained from the Myriad Talisman Sect.

Fang Hong put away the storage bag, and used his demon gourd to absorb Tang Tian's corpse, refining it into a precious spirit pill.

Dong! Dong!

Just as Fang Hong finished collecting the corpse, a sudden urgent whooshing sound came from the sky; it turned out Xiao Ze had arrived.

Xiao Ze saw Fang Hong standing alone on the desolate island, and Tang Tian was nowhere to be seen, his heart startled, and he quickly landed beside Fang Hong to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist Fang, where is that old demon Tang Tian?"

"He has already been killed by me," Fang Hong nodded in response.

"So that's it. Fellow Daoist Fang's strength truly earns my sincere admiration." Xiao Ze exclaimed in awe.

Fang Hong waved his hand, saying no more, and instead asked.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, do you know the location of Shadow Demon Island and the main headquarters of the Myriad Talisman Sect? I plan to go and raid them."
