Chapter 449: Chapter 186: Blade Slaying the Demon Emperor

The eastern sky paled.

The morning sun cast its light.

Fang Xing strolled out of the abandoned temple.

His Primordial Spirit scanned the landscape, imprinting a detailed image of the surrounding mountains onto his mind.

He could see even a single ant on the ground with perfect clarity.

After leaving the temple, Fang Xing quickly arrived before a cave deep within a large mountain.

An abandoned beast’s lair.

’This is the place.’

After a careful check, Fang Xing walked into the cave.

Once inside, with a thought, the Void Concealing God transformed into a human-sized form and appeared before him.

Then, Fang Xing took out the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror. The mirror’s surface shone with a brilliant light, and his figure vanished from the cave.

With the Void Concealing God as his Guardian, he could now undergo the Refinement of the Divine Beast Essence without worry.

HUMMM—!

Just as Fang Xing stepped into the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror, the Void Concealing God formed a hand seal, and a faint layer of brilliant light instantly covered the entire cave.

From the outside, the entire cave seemed to have vanished into thin air.

It blended into the surrounding mountain, as if the cave had never existed at all.

...

Inside the Mountain and River Treasure Mirror, Fang Xing sat cross-legged under a willow tree beside a stream.

The willow branches swayed, and the stream flowed peacefully.

Sitting cross-legged, he took out a top-tier, Demon King Level Dragon Essence and began its Refinement and absorption.

On his skin, a Dark Gold light flickered, and the faint, phantom image of a Dark Gold dragon elephant appeared and disappeared.

A majestic power erupted, as if an Ancient Dragon Elephant had descended across time and space.

The surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi rippled slightly.

Operating the Dragon Elephant Prison-Suppression Force at full power, Fang Xing absorbed the Dragon Essence’s energy.

Within his body, the cries of dragon elephants rang out continuously.

As the power of the Dragon Essence was continuously absorbed, the Dark Gold radiance on his skin grew ever more brilliant.

Immersed in the process, he forgot everything else.

One after another, Divine Beast Essences were consumed.

Time slipped by unknowingly.

「Jing Province.」

Inside the great hall of a massive cave manor.

Nine figures, billowing with Demon Qi, appeared in the hall.

The nine great Demon Emperors of Ten Thousand Demon Mountain were gathered together.

The hall was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.

The very air grew heavy.

"It’s been a month and he still hasn’t appeared. I’m afraid this person has already fled."

One of the Demon Emperors spoke, breaking the silence.

"We haven’t found a single trace. Don’t tell me he vanished into thin air?"

Another Demon Emperor, a large man in a black robe, asked.

Hearing this, several Demon Emperors fell silent, feeling utterly frustrated.

They had planned a siege, but they couldn’t even find their target. In all their long lives, they had never been so aggrieved.

"We can’t let our guard down yet. We must keep watching. If he appears, we’ll only get one chance. We cannot relax."

After a long moment, a large Demon Emperor in a purple robe spoke in a deep voice.

Several of the Demon Emperors nodded.

Simply waiting around wasn’t a real plan, but it was all they could do for now.

There wasn’t a single trace of this damn human Martial Artist, and they couldn’t even find any information on him.

In this situation, this crude method was all they had.

It wasn’t impossible that he might show up.

After all, their losses this time were unprecedented.

If they didn’t get revenge, the hatred in their hearts would never be appeased!

The Demon Emperors rose and were just about to leave the hall when, suddenly, the air vibrated and a purple light flashed.

The figure of a beautiful woman in purple robes appeared before the assembled Demon Emperors.

Her form was illusory, a phantom projection.

Seeing this purple-robed woman, the nine Demon Emperors were startled and hastily bowed in salute.

"Greetings, Empress Yuan!"

The nine Demon Emperors spoke in unison.

The phantom projection of Empress Yuan swept her gaze over the Demon Emperors, her eyes finally landing on the large, purple-robed Demon Emperor.

"Cang Lang, what is the situation?"

Hearing Empress Yuan’s question, the purple-robed man couldn’t help but tremble. Sweat dripped uncontrollably from his forehead. He swallowed hard and spoke respectfully, "Your Majesty, everything is proceeding according to plan. It may just require a little more time."

Empress Yuan’s expression was cold as she looked at the large, purple-robed man. "So you’re saying you’ve accomplished absolutely nothing?"

At her words, the large, purple-robed man froze, and the sweat on his forehead beaded even more densely.

"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, this human Martial Artist is likely not from the Liang Kingdom. He should be a human from another region, so..."

"I am asking you if there has been any substantial progress!"

Before the large, purple-robed man could finish, Empress Yuan’s voice rang out again.

"N-no." The large, purple-robed man forced himself to answer.

HUMMM—!

The moment the word left his lips, a terrifying ripple of power swept forth.

The purple-robed man’s body trembled, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of Demon Blood. The light in his eyes dimmed by a third.

This scene sent a chill down the spines of the other Demon Emperors. Their bodies seemed to turn to stone, and they dared not move an inch.

"This was merely a light punishment. I will give you one more month. If you cannot capture this person, you will come to the Demon Palace to receive your punishment yourself."

Empress Yuan’s voice was calm, yet it contained an extreme chill.

The purple-robed man hurriedly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy. I will definitely capture this person and give Your Majesty a satisfactory result."

Empress Yuan gave a slight nod, her gaze sweeping over the assembled Demon Emperors before finally landing on him. "I hope so."

The moment she finished speaking, her figure vanished into thin air, and the overwhelming pressure she exuded instantly dissipated.

The assembled Demon Emperors immediately let out a collective sigh of relief.

"Investigate! We must find this person! I will skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and grind his bones to dust!"
