Chapter 634: Chapter 175: Overwhelming Ferocity, Brute Force Shatters All Arts

He centered his mind and cast aside all distracting thoughts, then began refining the endless stream of Geng Metal Evil Qi and infusing it into his Demon Seed.

Simultaneously, he guided the Vajra Gang Qi—transformed from the Geng Metal Evil Qi within the seed—to repeatedly temper his internal organs, the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and even his very bones, blood, and marrow.

Under this tempering, the foundation of his Vajra Undying Body grew ever more robust!

...

Meanwhile, deep within a hidden cave over three hundred miles south of Qing Province City.

SPURT!

Ghost Bone Elder’s main body, who was sitting cross-legged amidst a pile of white bones, suddenly snapped his eyes open.

He couldn’t stop a mouthful of crimson blood from spraying out, mottling the ground before him.

His entire aura instantly deflated like a punctured balloon. The color drained from his face, leaving it as pale as paper and utterly bloodless.

Ghost Bone Elder had been unable to perceive Chu Fan using the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to devour his Soul Division, as the process had been isolated by the Five Elements Cauldron.

However, the scenes from just before his Soul Division was enveloped by the Five Elements Cauldron—the utter destruction of his Demon Puppets, the shattering of his Ancient Treasure, and his own complete and utter defeat—had been transmitted like a nightmare, clear as day, deep into his Sea of Consciousness through the Divine Soul link with his main body!

’How could this be...’

Ghost Bone Elder’s withered fingers clenched into a tight fist, the veins on his hand bulging!

’I told myself I had been cautious enough, even sending an avatar with a powerful treasure.’

’I had already overestimated Chu Fan as much as possible and prepared all sorts of countermeasures.’

’But what was the result?’

’That brat who, just a few months ago, could only flee pathetically while being hunted by my Demon Puppets...’

’In such a short time, he’s actually evolved into a humanoid Ancient Fierce Beast!’

’One miscalculation, and I’ve lost another priceless avatar!’

’No... it was much more than just an avatar?!’

’There were also those six powerful Demon Puppets, refined with countless efforts and rare materials.’

’And that Ancient Bone Shield with its astonishing defensive power, which had been with me for so many years!’

The thought of these disastrous losses made Ghost Bone Elder feel as if his heart were bleeding. A metallic sweetness surged up his throat, and he almost spewed another mouthful of blood.

He had roamed the Demon Dao for hundreds of years, dominating all before him; no one had ever dared to challenge his might.

Even when facing encirclement by the Great Yan Dynasty’s dreaded Demon Suppression Bureau, he had never suffered such a great loss or taken such a vicious fall!

His body trembled uncontrollably. Within his deep-set eye sockets, a towering, irrepressible rage intertwined with a trace of bone-deep fear—a fear he was unwilling to even admit to himself!

’To shatter an Ancient Treasure with a pair of bare fists...’

’It’s not that I’ve never seen a Body Cultivator before, but the path of body cultivation is difficult and limited.’

’Those so-called famous Body Cultivators in the Qing Province region were no different from ants in my eyes.’

’So how on earth did that Chu Fan cultivate his physical body to such an inconceivable degree?’

’Could it really be just because he trained in that Geng Metal Evil Qi Forbidden Land?’

The corners of Ghost Bone Elder’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, his heart nearly overflowing with frustration and horror.

The tiny ant that was once under his control had already grown into a Fierce Beast capable of devouring a giant!

Everything was now completely beyond his control!

Judging from the final images sent back by the Soul Division, even if he, in his main body, were to personally take action now, he had no absolute certainty that he could kill Chu Fan!

His outrageously powerful physical strength, his strange and unpredictable Step Technique, that Secret Technique resembling a Spatial Shift, and that bizarre archery technique from the Chaotic Stone Forest that could directly rip apart a Demon Puppet’s soul...

Every single one of the brat’s methods was enough to make one’s heart palpitate with fear!

’And who could guarantee that the brat wasn’t hiding even more powerful trump cards?’

Ghost Bone Elder’s claw-like hands clenched so tightly that his finger bones emitted a series of sharp CRACKS, a sound that was exceptionally jarring in the dark and silent cave.

...

Back in the Geng Metal Evil Qi Forbidden Land, Chu Fan was completely immersed in the profound state of his cultivation, oblivious to himself and the world around him.

Twenty days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the edge of the Forbidden Land, Mo Yunzi, who had been standing guard, calculated the time. A hint of hesitation flickered across his face before he finally mustered his courage and sent a voice transmission toward the depths of the land, "Young Master, the ’Profound Origin Secret Realm Competition’ in Qing Province City is about to begin..."

"Should we... be heading back?"

"Hm?"

Chu Fan slowly opened his eyes. A sharp glint of golden light flashed in their depths before vanishing, like lightning tearing through the night sky.

Immersed in his cultivation, he had almost forgotten the passage of time.

He hadn’t realized that nearly a month had already passed in the outside world.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, turning his focus inward to his Qi Sea.

He saw that the Demon Seed had already grown to more than double the size it was when he first entered the Forbidden Land.

It now hovered quietly in the center of his Qi Sea, like a dark gold star in the cosmos.

Within the Demon Seed, the vast and surging Vajra Gang Qi flowed like liquid metal, exuding a majestic aura of indestructibility that made him seem Immune to All Laws.

He was still practicing Body Forging with the Vajra Subduing Demon Skill, but with the enhancement from this Vajra Gang Qi—transformed from the purest Geng Metal Evil Qi—the results were on a completely different level!

Chu Fan rose to his full height, and a series of crisp, explosive cracks echoed from his bones, as if a long-slumbering Fierce Beast had finally awoken.

With a light leap, he floated like a feather out of the area thick with Evil Qi.

Seeing him, Tang Yu, who was waiting outside, blushed slightly. She shyly hurried to hand him a set of clean robes she had already prepared.

Although she had already acknowledged Chu Fan as her master, she had rarely seen any man so completely naked.

Faced with the potent, masculine aura Chu Fan naturally exuded after his cultivation, her heart couldn’t help but beat a little faster.

Chu Fan took the robes and quickly put them on. Then, his brow furrowed slightly as he looked at Tang Yu. "Tang Yu," he said, "I’m going to have to ask you to put up with some inconvenience for a while."
