Cultivating To Immortality

"Human, how dare you come to my Demon God Hall to steal corpses? You deserve to die!"

A demonic sound came from the distant sky, and Fang Hong's heart was filled with terror. He quickly summoned the Heavenly Thunder Needle, transforming it into a giant sword of lightning, to meet the black giant palm crashing down from the sky.

Bang.

The giant sword and the giant palm collided violently, creating a fierce explosion. The powerful impact instantly blew Fang Hong away.

Although the giant palm was blocked, the Heavenly Thunder Needle had shattered into countless small fragments during the collision, scattering all around.

Fang Hong's face was grim, and his chest churned with Qi and blood. The destruction of his life bound spiritual treasure caused a sharp pain in his mind.

But he could no longer care about the pain for his spiritual treasure. Without the slightest hesitation, he continued to flee at top speed.

Fang Hong truly experienced the power of a Mahayana expert. Even from tens of thousands of miles away, a single palm print struck from the air could easily shatter his high-grade spiritual treasure.

If the Demon God's true body were here, he probably wouldn't even have a chance to resist.

So, he had to escape quickly, before that Demon God caught up, and flee the Underground World.

"Arrogant human, you can't escape."

The demonic sound came again, but this time it was noticeably louder, indicating that the Demon God was gradually approaching Fang Hong.

As soon as the demonic sound fell, a purple light blade shot from the distant sky again, striking directly at Fang Hong.

Fang Hong's face grew even more horrified. This light blade was even more powerful than the previous demonic palm. If he were hit, he would surely die.

"Bastard."

Fang Hong cursed under his breath. He couldn't care less about anything else and immediately threw out the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron.

This was the highest-grade item he possessed, and he hoped it could buy him some time.

The Dragon Suppressing Cauldron instantly enlarged in the air, becoming like a small mountain, shimmering with golden light, and collided fiercely with the incoming purple light blade.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

The Dragon Suppressing Cauldron and the purple light blade were locked in a stalemate for a while, erupting in a fierce collision in the air.

It finally blocked the light blade, but with a loud bang, the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron ultimately couldn't withstand the sharpness of the purple blade and exploded into countless fragments in a dazzling light.

Fang Hong sensed immediately that the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron had been destroyed, which pained him immensely.

Fortunately, the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron bought him a lot of time, and soon, he arrived at the small cave.

Fang Hong immediately took out the beast skin map and furiously activated his magic power. The altar, sensing the map key, instantly transformed into a spatial passage.

Fang Hong didn't hesitate for a moment and instantly dove into the spatial passage.

A few breaths later, Fang Hong passed through the spatial passage again and returned to the surface world.

As his feet touched the ground, Fang Hong keenly sensed a bone-chilling killing intent emanating from the spatial passage behind him, indicating that the Demon God was still in pursuit.

Fang Hong quickly struck the altar with a palm, instantly blasting it into countless specks of dust.

Without the altar as a spatial coordinate, even if that Demon God could traverse the void, he wouldn't be able to easily pinpoint his location.

To be safe, Fang Hong dared not linger in the valley bottom and instantly flew away from it.

Fang Hong cursed and grumbled as he fled.

Although this trip to the Underground World yielded many spirit pills and even a Mahayana-grade demon corpse, he also lost two treasures: the Heavenly Thunder Needle and the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron.

Especially the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, Fang Hong truly felt heartbroken.

That was a Heaven-Reaching spiritual treasure, and it was just destroyed like that. In the future, he would have to find another way to refine his physical body.

Just as Fang Hong flew out of the rift valley, a powerful pressure suddenly descended from the sky and landed on him.

Fang Hong frowned, his body suspended in the air, his gaze fixed on the source of the pressure. He saw a cloud of black mist that had appeared in the clouds ahead at some unknown time.

As the black mist churned, the figure of a Black-robed Old Man slowly emerged.

Fang Hong scrutinized the Black-robed Old Man but did not recognize him. However, the old man's aura was not weak; he was a Body Integration Late Stage Cultivator.

The Black-robed Old Man likewise observed Fang Hong. Seeing that Fang Hong was only a Body Integration Early Stage Cultivator, his stern old face immediately relaxed considerably.

"This old man is Grand Elder Hu San, a Grand Elder of the Fallen Immortal Sect. May I ask Fellow Daoist's esteemed name?" The Black-robed Old Man smiled slightly and greeted him politely.

"So it's an expert from the Fallen Immortal Sect, a pleasure to meet you."

"I am Zhao Wenjun, a core Elder of the Azure Water Holy Land. May I ask Fellow Daoist what business you have with me?" Fang Hong fabricated a name and responded with a cupped-fist salute.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Zhao. It's like that this old man wishes to borrow the key in Fellow Daoist's hand to access the Underground World. Fellow Daoist should know what I'm referring to, right?" Grand Elder Hu San spoke directly and to the point.

"Key?"

Fang Hong's heart stirred. What Grand Elder Hu San was referring to should be that beast skin map. It seemed that the lava crystal from before was arranged by him.

"My apologies, Fellow Daoist Hu, the teleportation altar below has been destroyed by a fierce demon and can no longer be used." Fang Hong replied, not wanting to give anything away.

"What? Destroyed?" Upon hearing this, Grand Elder Hu San's old face immediately darkened, filled with displeasure.

"Destroyed by a fierce demon? I think Fellow Daoist destroyed it, didn't you? There was a tremor from below just now." Grand Elder Hu San stared at Fang Hong with a displeased expression.

"If Fellow Daoist has nothing else, I shall take my leave first." Fang Hong didn't want to get too entangled with him, nor did he want to conflict with him.

After all, this Grand Elder Hu San was a Grand Elder of the Fallen Immortal Sect, a sect with Immortal heritage. Fang Hong didn't want to incur any revenge.

However, just as Fang Hong was about to leave, Grand Elder Hu San immediately shouted.

"Wait."

Fang Hong's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at him.

Grand Elder Hu San raised his finger, and a golden light flashed in the surrounding void. A golden chain could vaguely be seen encircling the space for several miles.

"The space for several miles has been sealed by my Space-Locking Chains. You can't escape." Grand Elder Hu San said with a sneer.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Excellency? Are you trying to provoke a great war between the Azure Water Holy Land and the Fallen Immortal Sect?" Fang Hong asked coldly.

"Hmph. If I kill you, what can that old monster of Azure Water do? What kind of Holy Lord? He's just a Body Integration Cultivator, and my Fallen Immortal Sect doesn't even put him in our eyes."

"This old man finally found an entrance to the Underground World, only for you to destroy it, you damned bastard." Grand Elder Hu San said angrily.

After speaking, his Body Integration Late Stage aura fully erupted, and a powerful pressure swept towards Fang Hong.

"Die."

Grand Elder Hu San roared, his hands quickly forming a seal. In the void beside Fang Hong, a complex grand formation instantly appeared, surrounded by thirty-six golden longswords, enveloping Fang Hong.

These longswords continuously shot out golden threads, fiercely scraping towards Fang Hong.

"Sword Qi transforming into threads? A Sword Formation."

Fang Hong was slightly surprised, realizing he had been ambushed. He quickly cast the Dragon Transformation Art, transforming into his Dragon-Human body to resist the Sword Qi attack.
