Chapter 238 (1/2)
As soon as the experts entered into the rainbow-colored portal, they were immediately transferred to the Secret Realm.
In the 70 million li* large land, Ning Fan stood at the summit of a huge mountain while holding the map of the Secret Realm.
He spread his spirit sense over three thousand li*, studying the landscape of the area he was in. It was then that he realized that he was actually at the eastern domain of the Secret Realm.
His brows were tightly knitted together.
The demon spiritual qi of this land is immense!
Just as its name implied, demon spiritual qi could only be absorbed by demon cultivators for cultivation. The amount of the demon spiritual qi of this land was blessed by nature itself. If it was to be compared to a land with spiritual qi for human cultivators, the concentration of the spiritual qi was nearly tens of times that of the gold spiritual power in Joint Joyous Island!
Even high-ranking cultivation countries and the islands of the Endless Sea might not have that much spiritual qi. The only countries which could probably supply spiritual qi equivalent to the Secret Realm he was in right now would be those guarded by Void Refinement or Void Fragmentation Realm experts.
Such intense volume of demon spiritual qi was surely enough for the demonic beasts to cultivate in an extraordinary speed.
Even so, to enable ordinary demonic beasts to evolve into Fake Wild Beasts2, it was still far from enough. Furthermore, if it was just the effect of the demon spiritual qi, the demon beasts would not just gain the Spirit Severing Realm demon power, but their cultivation levels would have improved as well...What made the situation strange was that their cultivation levels remained at the Gold Core Realm.
This land is rather strange. There must be other reasons for the evolution of the demon beasts.
Due to the atmosphere which was filled with thick demon spiritual qi, Ning Fan had no choice but to change his plan.
Originally, Ning Fan planned to open up an abode and increase his power. Only then would he wipe out all the Fake Wild Beasts with the remaining time.
However, refining his power with the Profound Liquid of Mother Earth was time-consuming and he did not have much time for it. Besides, the location was unsuitable.
Also, it was not an appropriate place for him to consume the Dao Fruit and the Green Phoenix Flame. The heaven and earth spiritual qi here was just too thin.
The most suitable aspect to be enhanced at this place is my demon power…
“Demon power…”
All of a sudden, Ning Fan’s eyes turned solemn.
It had only been a few breaths after he entered the Secret Realm. However, there were already a few bird-like demonic beasts approaching him. They fluttered their wings and let out a sharp shrill while dashing towards him. They were a group of more than ten giant eagles with black feathers. Each and every one of them was almost a hundred zhang* large and they possessed Nascent Soul Realm demon power. The one leading the group was a silver-feathered eagle which was ten times larger than the rest of them.
“Wild Beasts…”
Ning Fan activated his sword sense and a cloud of black smoke spread out from his body. As the group of Nascent Soul Realm demonic eagles dashed into it, they were immediately minced into pieces, filling the sky with blood mist.
Their demon power is at the Nascent Soul Realm. However, their cultivation levels really are just at the Gold Core Realm. By the looks of it, their cultivation level should be not higher than Early Gold Core Realm.
In that case, my sword sense will be just enough!
The next moment, Ning Fan’s body was encircled by rays of everlasting red light. They were the Violent Q!
The ferocity of his Violent Qi was so immense that it could even strike fear on true Wild Beasts. But the leader of the flock was like a possessed demonic beast with its eyes being blood-red. Without having any sense of fear, it flapped its wings creating a black squall that covered an area of a thousand li*. Within the wind, countless black quills were shot out at Ning Fan’s direction. Each of the quills was capable of killing a Late Gold Core Realm cultivator.
The eagle was a Black Falcon. Conjuring quills out of the black wind was just a Gold Core Realm technique. However, when it was displayed by a demonic beast with Spirit Severing Realm demon power, the quantity of black quills massively increased to the point where they were able to blot out the sky and hide the sun. There were at least tens of thousands of them.
That is to say, with a flap of its wings, it was capable of killing tens of thousands of Gold Core Realm experts! Beside, not even a Nascent Soul Realm could stand a chance against him as tens of thousands of black quills were not easy to block!
“After all, they are still Fake Wild Beasts. They can’t even control the Primordial power of heaven and earth, let alone Heavenly Spiritual Power…”
Ning Fan took a step forward, completely disregarding the black quills. He vanished in a column of black smoke, traversed over a few thousand zhang* and finally appeared again on top of the head of the gigantic eagle.
With a cold look, he stomped directly on its head!
When his leg landed on its head, it was like there was a huge devil mountain falling down on its head, creating a few rifts in the sky.
Under the immense strength of Jade Life Body Refining Realm, its head was crushed to smithereens without giving it a single second to struggle or wail!
However, a gust of black wind revolved on top of its headless body, allowing it to regenerate its head.
Ning Fan was shocked. Such situation was completely beyond his expectations. The demonic beasts of this land might not be great, but they were not easily killed.
Usually, cultivators tend to let down their guards after killing their enemies. However, if the enemy, who was supposed to be dead, revived and delivered a fatal blow to them, they would most likely be killed in return because of their carelessness.
It’s no wonder forty percent of experts lost their lives at a place like this…
As expected, when the eagle regrew its head, it went berserk. The black feathers on its body turned into swords and were shot out at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His eyes flashed in cold light as jade green shield emerged. It was like a large cocoon which shone in jade green light encasing Ning Fan within.
This jade green shield could only be displayed by experts who had attained the Jade Life Body Refining Realm. Experts with that body refining realm were able to compress the Primordial Energy of heaven and earth using their physical body, turning them into Heavenly Spiritual Wind which would act as a protective shield. Even a full-attack of a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert would not even be able to destroy it.
As soon as those sword-like black feathers thrust unto the shield, they were immediately burnt by the jade green flames into ashes.
Blocking tens of thousands of black feathers only depleted one-third of the total spiritual power of the shield.
“That’s it…. Mountain Crush!”
Ning Fan raised his finger. All mountains within a vicinity of a thousand li* began to crumble, echoing a violent rumble into the air.
Each of the mountains that collapsed contributed a trace of power towards his finger, making it greater. When all mountains fell and the earth split, turning the entire area into a wasteland, the eagle’s eyes which were filled with ferociousness were finally struck by fear for the first time. It was an uncontrollable fear that appeared out of instinct. Unfortunately, it was too late for the eagle to be scared! Just as the beast began to turn and flee out of fear, its eyes glowed red, making it turn to face Ning Fan once more. This time, however, the fear in its eyes was totally gone, leaving only inextinguishable battle intent!
*Shriek*
The giant eagle became frenzied and shot out even more black feathers at Ning Fan although it was still a fruitless struggle.
When Ning Fan unleashed the sword light that brightly glowed at the tip of his finger towards the beast, it ceased struggling.
A dark yellow sword was shot out from his finger at the speed of light, just like the polar lights and pierced straight through the eagle’s skull. The next second, it burst into countless hair-like sword threads, grinding it from inside out.
A brief moment later, the body of the thousand zhang* large eagle burst into a cloud of blood mist, pouring down to the ground like a rain of blood.
