Chapter 751: Chapter 192: Lu Mountain Kanglong Dominance

Upon hearing this, Wang Yanfeng secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

’The Demon Suppression Bureau is so unreliable,’ he grumbled to himself.

’Didn’t they assign someone to properly brief Lord Chu on the specifics of the Profound Origin Secret Realm and the basics of the Martial Dao?’

’Or do people like Lord Leng just assume a prodigy like Chu Fan must be a walking encyclopedia who already knows everything?’

To completely dispel Chu Fan’s concerns and bolster his confidence, Wang Yanfeng added, "Actually, it’s not just about conflicting Primordial Qi attributes..."

"Those devouring Demon Techniques are difficult to Refine, and they also come with numerous side effects like loss of sanity and physical mutation. Furthermore, their effectiveness is inextricably linked to the size of the Cultivator’s own ’vessel’—in other words, the strength of their physical body."

"They use their own bodies as vessels to contain power. They absorb the power of others, pour it into themselves, and then slowly Refine it."

"It’s the difference between a cup and a cistern—worlds apart."

"The size of the vessel itself strictly limits the maximum amount of power that can be devoured."

"Although that Zhang Tianyu is a top prodigy of Qing Province’s younger generation, and was even carefully selected as a ’vessel’ by that old monster of the Zhang Family, he is not a Body Cultivator who specializes in strengthening his physique."

"His physical durability might surpass that of other Martial Artists at the same Realm, but it’s nowhere near as monstrous as your Vajra Body, Lord Chu."

"And even though his Martial Arts Realm is at the peak of the Bright Heart Realm, he simply can’t contain too much motley power from others at the same level. If he tried, both his body and his Qi Sea would explode."

"Therefore, it’s by no means an easy task for that old monster to use Zhang Tianyu’s body as a vessel to Devour the power of others, along with the Pollution Power."

"At least in the short term, it’s impossible for him to break through to a higher level this way."

Chu Fan nodded slightly, his eyes profound.

The spectral image of Zhang Ling’Er appeared in his mind, and he recalled the "Condensing Evil and Burning Heart Technique" she had cultivated.

Back then, the old monster’s Soul Division had manipulated the Fallen Demon, Zhang Ling’Er, into going to the Earth Vein Flame Fire Forbidden Land to recklessly absorb the Flame Fire Evil Qi.

As a result, after just over a month of absorption, the tyrannical Evil Qi had completely corroded her once-delicate body from the inside out, leaving it a riddled wreck.

From the look of things back then, the only reason she was still alive was likely because the old monster’s Split Soul Power was forcibly propping up her ruined body.

In reality, the Earth Vein Flame Fiend Qi had long since corroded her flesh and bones, causing them to turn necrotic.

Even the rugged Body Cultivators of the Vajra Sect, who now possessed the complete "Vajra Subduing Demon Skill," wouldn’t dare charge into the center of that Fiend-infested Desolate Land—a place where the Evil Qi could melt metal and iron—to recklessly absorb it.

Chu Fan couldn’t help but sigh as he reflected on his own cultivation journey.

He had initially cultivated the deadly "Nine Blood Soul Blades" only because the medicinal power from Zhao Tianxing’s half-stalk of premium wild mountain ginseng could neutralize the Evil Qi.

He only dared to later frantically absorb a piercing power like the "Geng Metal Evil Qi" because his body had undergone a metamorphosis, evolving into the "Vajra Undying Body," which was Immune to All Laws.

But Zhang Tianyu didn’t have a "Vajra Undying Body."

At this thought, the anxiety that had been weighing on Chu Fan’s heart finally and truly dissipated.

As long as that old monster couldn’t just snowball his power indefinitely, there was still a fighting chance!

He glanced back in the direction of the battlefield, a scene of utter devastation.

That was where he had faced a Ruyi Realm expert head-on for the first time.

Although the Mutated Wolf King was incredibly powerful, with claws that could shred steel and the aura of the Ruyi Realm, to be honest, he hadn’t felt the life-or-death pressure while killing it. It hadn’t even taken that much effort.

He hadn’t even had a chance to use the "Netherworld Array," which he had painstakingly set up beforehand, more than a couple of times before the fight was over.

But Chu Fan didn’t grow complacent. On the contrary, he became even calmer.

He knew full well that it had been nothing more than a frenzied beast.

If he had been up against a battle-hardened human Martial Artist of the Ruyi Realm, one equipped with various Martial Arts and Magical Treasures, the fight would never have been so easy.

The greatest difference between a human Martial Artist of the Ruyi Realm and the Wolf King was intelligence, which allowed for tactical choices.

Even upon reaching such a Realm, most Demon Beasts still fought on instinct, preferring close-quarters brawls.

This gave Chu Fan the perfect opportunity to leverage his greatest strengths.

But a human Martial Artist at the Ruyi Realm level would have a powerful Divine Soul, terrifying Primordial Qi, a wide array of techniques, and an extremely long attack range.

Upon engaging him and realizing he was a Body Cultivator, they would never be foolish enough to fight him up close.

His "Shadow Step," though unpredictable, had an effective range of only 150 feet.

A Ruyi Realm Martial Artist, however, could unleash large-scale Magic Techniques, bombarding him relentlessly from 500, or even 1,000 feet away.

If he ever found himself in that situation, with all his Divine Power, he would be reduced to nothing more than a sitting duck, passively taking a beating!

WHOOSH—

The "Nine-Turn Flowing Cloud Disc" cut through the sky, letting out a piercing shriek.

Wang Yanfeng stood at the front of the disc, hands clasped behind his back. He didn’t look back, but his incredibly sharp Divine Sense was constantly monitoring the situation behind him.

To his senses, Chu Fan felt like a miniature volcano on the verge of eruption.

Chu Fan sat cross-legged with his eyes shut tight, a faint golden radiance circulating endlessly around him.

It was the sign of the "Vajra Subduing Demon Skill" being pushed to its absolute limit.

Deep within his Qi Sea, the Demon Seed throbbed wildly, expelling the purest, most tyrannical "Vajra Gang Qi," which scoured his entire body again and again.

With every wave, the faint sound of clashing metal rang out from within his body.

’He’s still focused on cultivating, even now...’ Wang Yanfeng marveled to himself.

As a Noble Family Member, he had seen his fair share of geniuses. But a prodigy like Chu Fan, who possessed both breathtaking talent and the self-discipline of an Ascetic Monk, was something he had never witnessed before.

No wonder he could dominate a whole generation of prodigies in the Profound Origin Secret Realm as a mere Body Cultivator.

「Time passed quietly.」

The vast sea of trees below them sped backward.

Chu Fan’s and Wang Yanfeng’s Divine Senses spread out like two enormous spiderwebs, blanketing an area of several miles in every direction.

A little over two hours later...

The otherwise calm sea of their combined Divine Sense was suddenly pierced by several violent fluctuations!
