Chapter 318 - 148: Demon Extreme Heart, Ascension

Chapter 318: Chapter 148: Demon Extreme Heart, Ascension

He opened his mouth, swallowed, and began to refine and absorb it.

A Divine True Origin on par with the Demon King Level would allow his Cultivation to reach a new height.

Within him, the Gang Seed throbbed.

He pushed the Longevity Technique to its absolute limit.

Having reached the Innate Infinite Realm, his speed at absorbing the Demon King Level Divine True Origin had increased significantly.

A ceaseless torrent of Gang Qi surged within his Dantian Qi Sea.

A faint, brilliant light enveloped his entire body.

...

Time flew, and a month passed in the blink of an eye.

At the Demon Suppression Mansion, everything remained as it was.

However, the Observatory had undergone significant changes over the past month.

The Four Great Marshals had ordered their subordinates to carry out their missions with full force, making this single month more efficient than the previous six combined.

The air of laziness and decay was swept away entirely.

The entire Observatory, from the highest echelons to the lowest ranks, was brimming with motivation.

For the Demons and Monsters, however, this past month had been agonizing.

Likewise, the Evil Cult Demon Sects had not fared well either.

The agents of the Observatory launched a massive offensive.

They fanned out from the Province City, using it as their base of operations.

Although they suffered some losses, they also managed to eradicate numerous demonic scourges and Evil Cults.

For the common people, who had grown numb to their plight, a spark of hope was ignited.

They had seen no hope before, but now, after the Observatory’s crackdown, at least a flicker of it had appeared.

Life under the rule of Demons and Monsters was a living hell.

And while it was still a purgatory, the situation around the Province City had improved dramatically.

In the eyes of many factions, however, this was merely a temporary respite. The Demon Alliance had yet to truly launch its counterattack.

Having dominated the province for so long, they weren’t about to relinquish their territory so easily.

...

「Demon Suppression Mansion, Training Room.」

After a full month, Fang Xing had completely absorbed all of the Divine True Origin.

His Cultivation naturally broke through to the True Gang Second Realm. He had already reached the peak of this realm, and the True Gang Third Layer was not far off.

Within him, his Innate Celestial Gang Qi had exploded several dozen times over.

His Innate Celestial Gang Seed, once the size of a quail’s egg, had doubled in size.

The color of the Gang Seed grew impossibly deep.

Fang Xing slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

After a month in seclusion, he had made immense progress.

His Cultivation had ascended to a new level.

He could feel that the True Gang Third Layer was close at hand.

Vast Gang Qi coursed through his body in a grand circulatory cycle.

His Innate Celestial Gang Qi could now extend to a range of two hundred zhang.

At the same time, he could now leverage the power of his Heaven and Earth Rank to control a portion of the Power of Heaven and Earth.

Although it wasn’t much, when used to augment his Martial Arts, the resulting explosive power was enough to completely overwhelm his foes.

’I still have four Demon King Level Divine Beast Essences...’

Fang Xing took out one of the Divine Beast Essences, placed it in his mouth, and swallowed it whole.

He activated the Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Heart Sutra, which rapidly began absorbing the power of the Divine Beast Essence.

Simultaneously, his Red Fire Divine Skill began absorbing the Attribute Power contained within the Divine Beast Essence.

His Red Fire Divine Skill could absorb any attribute, even those that were different from its own.

He used this power to strengthen his own personal flame.

Time flowed on.

More than a month passed, and the height of summer arrived.

In the Training Room, Fang Xing sat cross-legged. Behind him, the faint, flickering phantom of a Fierce Beast materialized.

The Ancient Dragon Elephant!

It was the Supreme Fierce Beast that had galloped unchallenged through the Ancient Times.

A faint, Dark Gold light shimmered on his skin.

The Dragon Elephant Power within him grew stronger.

A faint cry that was both a neigh and a roar seemed to echo as his Celestial Spirit Sea and the Hell Mark flashed with a dazzling, brilliant light.

When the last wisp of power from the Divine Beast Essence was completely absorbed, Fang Xing slowly opened his eyes.

HAAAA—

Letting out a soft breath, he sensed the changes in his body.

He had successfully absorbed four Demon King Level Divine Beast Essences, cultivating five Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos.

This granted him an increase of Five Dragon Power!

The pure physical strength of his Flesh Body had climbed to twenty-five Dragon Power.

While not as significant as the boost from his Demon Extreme Heart, it was still a massive improvement.

When he condensed the Dragon Elephant Power in his body, the resulting force could easily shatter mountains and sunder rivers!

Beyond the improvements to his Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force, his Cultivation had also broken through its limits this past month. Aided by a portion of the Divine Beast Essence’s power, he had successfully stepped into the True Gang Third Layer.

In just two months, he had broken through two consecutive realms!

The strength of his Gang Qi had increased a hundredfold!

His progress was astounding!

With his Cultivation at the True Gang Third Realm, the Gang Seed within him had also undergone a startling transformation, now grown to the size of a chicken’s egg.

As the Gang Seed grew, it condensed a Gang Pattern on its surface.

His Gang Qi had increased a hundredfold.

Although he had yet to probe his current limits, he was confident he had nothing to fear from anyone in the Middle Stage of True Gang.

With his current strength, he could even face off against a Martial Artist Demon King at the True Gang Sixth Layer.

The four Demon King Level Divine Beast Essences also contained immense Attribute Power, which had granted his Red Fire Divine Skill a significant boost as well.

It had nearly reached its apex.

The power of his Gang Qi Purple Flame had ascended to a whole new level.

’There’s still the Spirit Level Divine Essence left... After I refine it, yes, it should be time to come out of seclusion.’

Taking out the Spirit Level Divine Essence, Fang Xing swallowed it without hesitation.

His Cultivation and Flesh Body had reached their current limits, but he couldn’t let his Primordial Spirit fall behind.

Breaking through to the Middle Stage of Primordial Spirit would also represent a massive leap forward.

His comprehension had not stagnated over these past few months.

He had now more or less fully comprehended the Four Tribulations Method of the Refining Divine Technique.

He had completely mastered the second of these, the Celestial Extreme Tribulation.

By mastering the Celestial Extreme Tribulation, the speed of his Celestial Extreme Devouring God would also increase.

At the same time, he gained a second Secret Technique for Primordial Spirit attacks.

...

「Half a month later.」

In the Demon Suppression Mansion, Hong Luan sat on a chair, staring at the Sound Transmission Bell in her hand. Every so often, her gaze would drift toward Fang Xing’s Training Room.

’It’s been almost three months, and the master still hasn’t come out of seclusion...’

’Lord Hong has already asked at least ten times.’

Hong Luan rubbed her forehead, a headache brewing.

The first two months had been fine, but recently, Hong Miaojin had been asking repeatedly. All Hong Luan could do was tell her the truth: Fang Xing was still in seclusion.

However, despite asking so many times, Hong Miaojin never told her to rush Fang Xing.

She only needed to be notified the moment he emerged.

’I’ll go have a look.’

After a moment of deliberation, Hong Luan stood up and quickly made her way to the front of the Training Room.

The doors to the Training Room were still shut tight.

She glanced at it and was about to turn away when, suddenly, the placid Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi erupted into chaos.

A crushing pressure that seemed to originate from the soul suddenly washed over her.

Hong Luan’s eyes widened as she stared at the Training Room.

The soul-crushing pressure was unmistakably coming from inside.

An invisible wave emanated outward.

It roiled the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi!

She thought she could see a faint, godlike phantom hovering above the Training Room.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi roiled violently, and the might emanating from the flickering phantom was so immense it nearly paralyzed her.

She was frozen to the spot, as if turned to stone!
