1109 Trouble (1/2)
”Great… I obtained another map!”
Inside his cave abode, Fang Yuan opened the scroll detailing the task and saw an area marked in red where otherworldly demons might appear.
This was a task map. Those who did not accept the task would not be able to get it.
After Fang Yuan's crazy speed of completing tasks, he knew the distribution of the otherworldly demons within the surrounding five thousand kilometers of Yanyang City.
It isn't convenient for me to use my methods in front of those inner disciples, but I can get my clone to explore these places and kill the otherworldly demons in advance while cultivating… After confirming that there's no danger, I can use my main body to kill one or two otherworldly demons that were intentionally released to complete my tasks.
Fang Yuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged.
The Torch Dragon clone appeared outside Yanyang City. He teleported a few times in succession and came to the place marked on the task scroll.
Black Qi rose into the sky. Dozens of otherworldly demons had gathered in a small city.
Roar Roar!
They raised their heads after detecting Fang Yuan's aura. The sound waves soared into the sky, scattering the clouds.
This place was obviously a small demon nest where otherworldly demons gathered. Immortals would not dare to start a battle here without a good number of them.
”Immortal? Food!”
Bodies and bones laid everywhere within the nest, and black water nourished them, creating a terrifying scene.
An otherworldly demon with a golden horn on its head roared angrily, and many otherworldly demons flew out.
”About time!”
Fang Yuan teleported behind this horned otherworldly demon and slashed. ”Light of Universe!”
Although this otherworldly demon's body was comparable to a mid-grade immortal artifact, after his comprehension of fusing nomological laws had deepened and the Light of Universe's power had increased sharply, he cut open the otherworldly demon's chest with little effort. Dark purple blood splattered.
This was otherworldly demon blood. A single drop was enough to contaminate the ground, turning the surrounding fifty kilometers barren for thousands of years and into a danger zone. It could even corrode an immortal artifact!
But most of it actually landed on Fang Yuan, making loud sizzling sounds.
Fang Yuan's Undying Demon Body acted like a sponge and greedily devoured the otherworldly demon blood. A purplish-red pattern appeared on his body.
”You should feel honored to have become food for my Undying Demon Body…” The purplish-red pattern flickered after absorbing the otherworldly demon.
The next moment, the remaining otherworldly demons attacked. Black beams struck from all sides, completely enveloping Fang Yuan.
Rumble!
A huge explosion happened, generating dark clouds of smoke.
After the dust settled, a human figure emerged. A simple armor appeared from within his body.
”Good… As expected of the Undying Demon Body!”
Fang Yuan laughed happily. His saber went forth, killing all the otherworldly demons and turning them into nourishment in no time.
”Not enough! Far from enough! The flesh and natural source of these otherworldly demons will only bring my fifth level one step further, but I'm still far from the sixth level. I need at least a thousand otherworldly demons!”
Fang Yuan frowned and immediately pondered. ”The seventh level is the primordial treasure realm. If I want to break through to it, I need to increase the absorption by ten times. This will require ten thousand otherworldly demons. Or perhaps one Primordial Godfiend?”
With this thought, he smiled bitterly.
The Undying Demon Body might be advancing, but the demand for otherworldly demons was truly shocking.
”Fortunately, I won't be lacking otherworldly demons during the demon disaster…”
The Torch Dragon clone lifted his head and released his murderous intent. ”I'll kill whoever gets in my way!”
He transformed into a stream of light and hurried to the next spot with otherworldly demons.
…
Time flew.
”Senior Brother Li Hun, you've succeeded in the task this time again!”
”Not only that, but even the number of casualties of inner disciples for the past two otherworldly demon hunts has plummeted. Senior Brother Li Hun is really kind…”
Fang Yuan had an easy time during the tasks with the Torch Dragon clone doing the dirty work.
After all, he was already invincible below the Grand Unity realm. Once he made a move, as long as he did not encounter a Primordial Godfiend, he could sweep through everything.
The Torch Dragon clone had been busy killing otherworldly demons these days. He had slain more than eight hundred otherworldly demons and was very close to breaking through to the sixth level.
”Haha… Back again? Not bad!”
Lu Wen stood at the door of the main hall, exuding the aura of an Immortal.
Obviously, he had taken advantage of the demon disaster to successfully transcend the tribulation and become Immortal!
It was nothing to be surprised about with the success rate of core disciples.
He dropped a scroll indifferently. ”Help me with this investigation task!”
He did not even mask his contempt now that he had become an Immortal.
”The purple scrolls are tasks for immortals!” Fang Yuan's steps stopped.
”I just became an Immortal and received the simplest investigation task… Kid, your luck is pretty good. An otherworldly demon hunter appeared around Yanyang City recently. It's said that he kills otherworldly demons out of boredom. Your task is to get to the bottom of this matter!”
Lu Wen said with a meaningful gaze, ”This person is your benefactor. Otherwise, with your cultivation base, you would have been long dead after doing so many tasks outside the city.”
