I Can Strengthen Everything

Red Fire Divine Fist!

This was the Martial Dao-enhanced version of the Red Fire Divine Fist.

Its power was completely different from the former Red Fire Divine Palm.

This was a punch that contained his Martial Dao Will.

"THUD!!!"

As if a giant boulder had struck, a dull sound rang out, and the surrounding air instantly distorted.

A powerful shockwave swept through the area.

BOOM—!

The Ox Demon Fierce Beast’s body was blasted over a thousand feet away, smashing violently into the ground.

Like a ten-thousand-jin boulder crashing to the earth, it kicked up a cloud of dust!

On the ox’s head, a scorched wound appeared, cauterized by a Purple Flame that had burned the blood dry.

The nigh-indestructible ox head had been pierced clean through. It lay on the ground, motionless.

Killed in a single punch!

SWISH—!

With a single step, Fang Xing appeared before the Ox Demon Fierce Beast and waved his hand, collecting its corpse.

’Ten thousand... Looks like it’s the same as for Demons and Monsters of the same level.’

Fang Xing looked at the increase in his Enhancement Points and understood.

Looking at his Hunting Bracelet, he saw he had gained one point.

He was temporarily ranked first on the True Qi Hunting List!

Withdrawing his gaze, Fang Xing once again released his Power of Mental to scan his surroundings.

He quickly locked onto the aura of a second Fierce Beast.

With a flicker of his figure, he vanished without a trace.

Pushing himself to the limit, his Zongyi Ascension Step reached its peak speed.

He arrived in an instant.

A giant black ape appeared before his eyes.

An Absolute Top Level Fierce Beast!

It was twenty feet tall and exuded a powerful sense of pressure.

The giant black ape looked at Fang Xing, its eyes filled with Killing Intent.

"ROAR—!"

With a roar, the giant ape moved instantly. It swung its long arm, its fist smashing down like a city-razing siege hammer.

The wind from the punch tore through the air, its immense power carrying the sound of a sonic boom.

BOOM!!!

A tremendous bang shook the earth and kicked up dust. Cracks spiderwebbed across the ground as the punch carved out a deep crater.

Fang Xing’s figure had vanished from his original spot.

In an instant, he reappeared behind the giant ape Fierce Beast.

"VMMM—!!!"

A Blood-Colored Demon Saber materialized, surrounded by a bone-chilling Killing Intent.

The surrounding temperature plummeted.

Sensing the power of this blade, the giant black ape was suddenly shrouded in an ethereal glow. A fifty-foot-tall phantom materialized, enveloping its entire body in the same light.

The phantom roared and charged at Fang Xing, much like a Dharma Aspect.

"SHLICK—!!"

The Life-taking Demon Saber struck in an instant.

Life-taking Demon Suppression Slash!

The blade tore through the air toward the phantom, reflecting a bloody crimson light.

A vision of a mountain of corpses in a Sea of Blood seemed to sweep over everything.

A single, brilliant slash!

The giant ape Fierce Beast’s phantom was shattered.

"SPURT—!"

The Blood-Colored Demon Saber fell, shattering the ape’s defenses and severing its head in a single strike. The blood-red Killing Qi surged, and the Heart of Slaughter within him beat faster, its color deepening slightly.

Even a Fierce Beast comparable to the True Qi Perfection level could not withstand his Life-taking Demon Saber.

Destroyed in a single slash!

The more he killed, the more powerful the Life-taking Demon Saber became.

With the kill complete, the Life-taking Demon Saber dissipated.

The enormous giant ape Fierce Beast collapsed. Looking at the corpse, Fang Xing collected it with a wave of his hand.

He took a step and vanished from the spot.

Not long after Fang Xing disappeared, several figures appeared. Sensing the bone-chilling Sword Qi lingering in the air, the young men’s expressions turned serious.

They looked at their Hunting Bracelets. In first place, Fang Xing’s name was exceptionally conspicuous.

"That butcher from the Observatory is certainly fast," one of the young men couldn’t help but mutter.

"He’s already broken a hundred points this quickly. The guy’s a monster!"

"The one Hong Miaojin brought... Looks like he’s aiming for first place."

"Enough chatter. Let’s keep searching."

The young men didn’t linger and soon vanished from the spot.

...

Outside the Secret Realm.

Pairs of eyes were all fixed on the three ranking categories displayed in the Void Treasure Mirror.

Among them, on the red list representing the True Qi Hunting List, one person’s points were glaringly high.

"Two hundred and twelve."

"How is this Fang Xing so fast?"

"Who is this person? Why is he so ferocious?"

"He’s an absolute talent."

Looking at the top name on the True Qi Hunting List, they saw that Fang Xing’s points placed him first in all three ranking categories.

He was just unbelievably fast!

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, his score had already skyrocketed to over two hundred points.

Such a growth rate was truly astonishing.

If they weren’t in the Hong Wu Secret Realm, they would suspect him of cheating.

At this pace, compared to everyone else, it was practically a one-sided slaughter.

Not only was he first on the True Qi Hunting List, but his points put him at the top of all three lists.

To have climbed so quickly in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn...

It was truly monstrous.

This feat instantly drew everyone’s attention.

"I seem to remember a Fang Xing on the Hidden Dragon List. He’s from the Observatory, right?"

"What?"

"He’s one of those butchers from the Observatory?!"

"No wonder he’s so ferocious. That whole group is made up of born killers!"

"To reach the Celestial Pride List with a True Qi Realm Cultivation... Tsk, tsk, that’s not simple!"

"With his future accomplishments, could he be the next Hong Miaojin?"

—

The crowd watched the rankings on the Void Treasure Mirror, whispering amongst themselves.

On the central high platform, upon the throne, Emperor Longjing watched the list on the Void Treasure Mirror. Listening to the others’ discussions, a glint flashed in his eyes.

’The Observatory... It seems Profound Secret has another talent under his command?’

Emperor Longjing murmured softly.

Hearing Emperor Longjing’s voice, the several eunuchs beside him glanced at the rankings on the Void Treasure Mirror. An old eunuch’s gaze swept over to a younger one.

"Your Majesty is interested in this person. Go and ask the State Guardian Marquis for specific information about him."

Hearing the transmitted voice, the young eunuch nodded slightly, bowed, and retreated.

...

In the Hong Wu Secret Realm, amidst a forest, a loud bang erupted. A sky-full of dust billowed out, and a powerful gust of wind instantly obliterated the surrounding trees.

"BANG—!"

A colossal creature fell to the ground.

’The third one...’
