Chapter 376: Chapter 165: Climbing and Paying a Visit (Part 2)

Fang Xing nodded upon hearing this.

It was only natural that Hong Miaojin had to consider the overall situation.

Some areas, no matter how dire the circumstances, couldn’t be touched.

The main reason was that he wasn’t strong enough.

The most dangerous places were all guarded by Demon Emperor Level beings.

Even if he achieved a breakthrough in his Cultivation, he was still far from being able to face a Demon Emperor.

He was self-aware enough to know that.

But given enough time, not even a Demon Emperor was unkillable!

There’s a first time for everything.

It was just that the gap between him and a True Essence Demon Emperor was still immense.

...

After talking for a while, Fang Xing received a reward of five million Merit and left the mansion.

He could use the next few days of rest to sort through his gains—enhancing what could be enhanced and upgrading what could be upgraded.

At the same time, he needed to solidify his current Cultivation.

...

Upon returning to the Demon Suppression Mansion, he immediately dove into the Training Room.

Sitting cross-legged on a cushion, Fang Xing checked his remaining Enhancement Points.

After enhancing one Top Level Demon King Essence, he still had nine million Enhancement Points left.

It seemed like a lot, but they would be spent quickly.

’I should enhance the Vermilion Fruit first and see how many points it takes...’ After a moment of thought, Fang Xing took out the Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit.

Enhancing a Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit required one million points.

This was the most expensive Treasure Medicine or Curiosity he had enhanced to date.

BUZZ—!

As he stared at the fruit in his hand, a crimson light instantly enveloped the Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit.

Soon, the crimson light faded.

A purple-gold fruit appeared before his eyes, emitting a rich, exotic fragrance.

[A Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained a Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit.]

"A Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit!"

Gazing at the fruit in his hand, Fang Xing swallowed hard.

The aroma was so intoxicating he could barely resist the urge to devour it in one bite.

’No, I have to resist. This must be saved for my breakthrough to True Essence Grandmaster.’

Forcibly suppressing his desire, Fang Xing put the Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit away for now.

The Ten Thousand Year Vermilion Fruit contained immense energy.

It could not only drastically increase his Power Cultivation but also temper his Flesh Body, completely remaking it from the inside out.

Using it for his breakthrough to True Essence Grandmaster was the only way to fully unleash the fruit’s medicinal power and absorb it perfectly.

After all, this wasn’t some common cabbage; it was a peerless item among Treasure Medicines.

One of the great Treasures of Heaven and Earth!

Using it to cross the monumental Dragon Gate to the Grandmaster realm would be putting it to its best and highest use.

Even with resources, one couldn’t afford to be wasteful.

After putting away the Vermilion Fruit, Fang Xing took out the Demon and Monster Core from the Top Level Demon King.

’Three million...’

Fang Xing winced at the required number of Enhancement Points, but he didn’t hesitate and initiated the enhancement.

[A Top Level Demon King’s Demon and Monster Core has been successfully enhanced. You have obtained a Top Level Demon King Level Suanni Essence!]

Fang Xing glanced at the enhanced Suanni Essence before putting it away for now.

Next, he took out a Top Level Demon King Qi Blood Essence.

From the Top Level Demon and Monster he had killed, he had only enhanced the Inner Core. Now, he could finally enhance its Essence.

After spending two million Enhancement Points, Fang Xing then enhanced the Qi Blood Essence from the old monster, the Demon Infant.

The Divine True Origin from a True Gang Peak expert could also increase his Power.

’That should be enough. I’ll save the rest for later.’

With that wave of enhancements complete, Fang Xing felt it was a good stopping point and summoned his status panel.

Name: Fang Xing

Cultivation: True Gang Sixth Layer!

Enhancement Level: Six-Star (31%)

Enhancement Points: 2,021,360.

’Thirty-one percent... And I still have two million points left.’

’Slow and steady.’

Looking at his enhancement progress, Fang Xing closed the panel. He took out the Divine Beast Essence first, placed it in his mouth, and began the refinement and absorption process.

From within his body, the roars of dragon-elephants echoed as a Dark Gold radiance illuminated the Training Room.

Behind him, the phantom of an Ancient Dragon Elephant flickered in and out of view.

His Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force absorbed the power of the Divine Beast Essence with all its might, constantly growing and strengthening.

A Dark Gold luster flickered across his skin.

「Three days later.」

Inside the Training Room, Fang Xing remained perfectly still.

The aura within his body pulsed.

His muscles bulged, and a Dark Gold radiance flowed over his entire body.

CHH—!

He opened his mouth and exhaled, a breath shooting out like an arrow.

’Sixty of them...’

Sensing the power coursing through his body, Fang Xing felt incredibly invigorated.

His progress after absorbing the Top Level Demon King Level Divine Beast Essence was significant.

He had formed ten new embryos in one go, though the effect was slightly less than the last time he had consumed a similar essence.

However, this was normal. The further he progressed, the more immense the energy required became.

The Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force consumed vast resources. If he had to rely on Treasure Medicines, he’d be lucky to even complete a third of the training, let alone half of it.

With sixty Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos, his strength had climbed to an astonishing Seventy Dragon Power.

’At this rate, I only need to kill five more Top Level Demon Kings to cultivate the first stage of the Prison-Suppression Golden Body.’ Fang Xing clenched his fist, looking inward at the powerful Dragon Elephant Divine Embryos within him.

Each one contained the strength of a million pounds.

His total Physical Strength had reached the Divine Power of seventy million pounds.

With a single punch, he could easily shatter the Protective Gang Qi of even a cultivator at True Gang Perfection.

’Five Top Level Demon Kings...’

’That won’t be easy.’

Fang Xing snapped back to reality.

It was easier said than done.

After all, behind every powerful Demon and Monster stood an even more powerful Demon Emperor.

Even now, he still had no confidence he could contend with a Demon Emperor.

The gap was thousands, even tens of thousands of times too great. Not even his Divine Skills and Secret Techniques could bridge such a massive chasm in power.
