Chapter 317: Chapter 148: Demon Extreme Heart, Ascension

"This blood qi phenomenon must be close to that of a Martial Saint!"

At the Observatory, many pairs of eyes turned toward the Demon Suppression Mansion.

The powerful radiance of blood and qi was so intense that even the Marshals felt their own blood and qi grow agitated.

The blood and qi of a Martial Arts Grandmaster in the True Essence Realm had long since transcended the ordinary.

Yet, faced with the radiance of blood and qi erupting from the Demon Suppression Mansion, even Martial Arts Grandmasters at the Marshal Level felt their own blood and qi stagnate.

In the study of the Commander-in-Chief’s Residence, Hong Miaojin’s figure flashed, appearing outside.

’This blood and qi... Did he eat an Immortal Pill!?’

Her gaze fixed on the Demon Suppression Residence.

This kind of blood and qi phenomenon was almost identical to the fluctuations of a Celestial Martial Saint.

Even if it didn’t quite reach that level, it was still far more terrifying than that of an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.

’Could it be another temporary blood and qi phenomenon caused by a breakthrough in his Divine Skill?’ Hong Miaojin’s face was a picture of astonishment.

She knew that Fang Xing cultivated a top-tier Horizontal Refining Divine Skill.

Not even an Immortal Pill could cause such a rapid, instantaneous boost.

’This guy... he’s full of more and more surprises.’ A peculiar glint appeared in Hong Miaojin’s eyes.

Producing such a powerful blood and qi phenomenon was proof enough that there was more to him than met the eye.

’His strength has increased. Hmm, that means his position as Demon Suppression Envoy is even more secure.’

The thought flashed through her mind.

The stronger his breakthrough, the more helpful he would be to her.

Here in Qing Province, Fang Xing was the only person she truly trusted.

’I’d better not disturb him.’

She had considered going to see for herself, but after a moment’s thought, she decided against it. Watching the blood and qi phenomenon gradually fade, she withdrew her gaze and stepped back into her study.

...

As the blood and qi phenomenon dissipated, the terrifying, oppressive pressure vanished with it.

Outside the Demon Suppression Mansion, four Marshals had gathered.

The main gate of the residence opened. Seeing Wei Qing and the other three, Hong Luan quickly bowed.

"Greetings, my lords."

Wei Qing glanced toward the depths of the Demon Suppression Mansion, then turned to Hong Luan. "Steward Hong, Lord Fang should be in the residence, correct? We’ve come to see him."

"Well..." A troubled look crossed Hong Luan’s face.

Wei Qing’s brow furrowed. "What is it? Lord Fang is unwilling to see us?"

The expressions of the other three Marshals darkened as well.

Hong Luan quickly explained, "My lords, it isn’t that. It’s just that Lord Fang has just entered seclusion. It will be some time before he emerges."

"Seclusion..."

"Causing such a commotion right after entering seclusion..."

A chill ran through the hearts of Wei Qing and the other three. After a moment’s thought, Wei Qing said, "In that case, we will wait until Lord Fang emerges from his seclusion."

With that, Wei Qing turned and left.

The other three Marshals exchanged a glance and promptly left as well.

Watching their retreating figures, Hong Luan couldn’t help but sigh in relief as she closed the residence gate.

...

「Demon Suppression Mansion, Training Room.」

Fang Xing opened his eyes.

He was gradually adapting to the Demon Extreme Heart.

Compared to his original heart, the vitality of the Demon Extreme Heart had increased a thousandfold.

This heart alone had caused his entire body to undergo a Blood and Marrow Exchange!

His blood was now thick like liquid mercury.

As it flowed through him, it felt like a great river surging through his veins.

Completing the Blood and Marrow Exchange had enhanced his Flesh Body in nearly every conceivable way.

His strength, in particular, had grown explosively.

It had soared to the might of Twenty Dragon Power!

And this was merely the result of the Demon Extreme Heart’s initial transformation of his body.

The heart hadn’t just undergone a metamorphosis; the Demon Extreme Heart could make his Life Force even more terrifying.

He had the feeling he could survive even if he were decapitated.

The enhancement the Demon Extreme Heart provided to his Flesh Body was immeasurable.

He could even control the Demon Extreme Heart; a single, deliberate beat was enough to make a person bleed from all seven orifices and die from their blood vessels bursting.

Even against a True Qi Realm Martial Artist, it could cause their blood and qi to flow in reverse. While it wouldn’t be enough to make them explode, it would still have a significant impact.

As his own strength grew, the abilities of the Demon Extreme Heart would become even more powerful.

A Demon Extreme Heart like this was completely beyond the scope of a normal heart.

With this sublimation, he suspected that not even the heart of a Martial Arts Grandmaster could compare to his Demon Extreme Heart.

The very sound of his heartbeat could suppress and kill evil spirits.

’Every enhancement is so unexpected!’

Fang Xing marveled.

This time, he had expected a talent-related enhancement, but he never thought it would be his heart that was strengthened.

This should be the second enhancement to his Flesh Body.

The first was Perception, and the second, his heart!

The power of the Demon Extreme Heart would continue to grow over time.

All in all, this self-enhancement was well worth it!

With such a terrifying heart, he could maintain his powerful Life Force even if he suffered grievous injuries in the future.

As long as his heart remained intact, he could not die!

If his Life Force became strong enough, even Limb Regeneration wouldn’t be out of the question.

He looked inward, inspecting his body.

He gazed at the purple-gold Demon Extreme Heart.

At its most extreme, his heartbeat could force a person’s blood and qi to reverse, causing their vessels to burst and kill them.

At the same time, he could also slow his heart, making its beat even fainter than normal.

His control over the Demon Extreme Heart was perfect; it responded to his every thought.

After taking a moment to experience this, Fang Xing returned to his senses.

By strengthening his Demon Extreme Heart, his Physical Strength had surged.

It had grown from the strength of twelve, nearly thirteen dragons, all the way to Twenty Dragon Power.

He was practically a Humanoid Level Ancient Fierce Beast.

It was a rapid ascent, a complete metamorphosis of his Flesh Body.

His strength had risen to a whole new level.

With his current Physical Strength, he felt he could obliterate an Initial Realm Demon King with a single punch.

Even a gifted Alien Demon King, one renowned for its physical power, would be no match for his current strength.

The blood and qi circulating through his body settled, returning to a state of calm. Fang Xing then took out a powerful Divine True Origin.
