Chapter 499: Chapter 200: Surge, Peak

’It hasn’t even been a day. How could things change so much?!’

’He smashed his way from ninth place straight into third.’

"Over two thousand three hundred points... Just how many Fierce Beasts did he kill!"

Yun Shu was shaken as she looked at the point rankings.

’He must have slain an untold number of Demon Emperors...’

’This rate of growth is just insane!’

’It seems whether the tribe can secure more resources this time will depend entirely on him. My own meager points amount to almost nothing.’

As Yun Shu thought this, a smile spread across her face.

The stronger Fang Xing became, the better it was for the Profound Wind Tribe.

’Splitting up was the right choice.’

’At least I won’t be dragging him down.’

She had previously thought his chances of reaching the top three were slim, but now, she saw a glimmer of hope.

The weakest among the current top ten were all at the Grandmaster Peak.

Who would have thought that the third-place position would be held by someone in the Early Stage of Grandmaster?

If she hadn’t witnessed it herself, she would’ve scarcely believed that Fang Xing could even overpower a Grandmaster Peak.

His points had even surpassed those of a Grandmaster.

Even if it was only for a moment, it was still a miracle!

’I wonder if he can hold on to third place until the end.’

She looked up at the sky as a thought crossed her mind.

’If he can secure third place and undergo the baptism of the Celestial Spirit Divine Pool, his power will likely soar to a terrifying new level.’

She was envious, of course, but he had earned this purely through his own strength.

After all, unlike the members of large and super-tribes, Fang Xing was completely on his own.

Achieving such an impressive result all by himself was more than enough to be proud of.

After all, the Underground Cave had always been the main stage for the super-tribes and large tribes.

This time, the Profound Wind Tribe could finally make a name for itself and receive a greater share of the Holy Hall’s resources.

...

On a mountain peak in the Underground Cave Fifth Layer, Fang Xing slowly opened his eyes.

Within his Celestial Spirit Sea, his third Divine Spirit had finally recovered completely.

It had been shattered by a single blow from a Demon Saint, but now, at long last, it was restored.

Not only had it been restored, but it had grown even stronger than before.

He took out the Fierce Beast Lifespan and began the Refinement process, converting their Flesh Bodies into Qi Blood Essence for storage.

This would all serve as capital for his future breakthroughs.

With this Demon Emperor Qi Blood Essence, a single round of Enhancement would allow his power to take a huge leap forward.

’But, it’s not enough!’

Fang Xing rose to his feet. Using his Primordial Spirit Projection to scan the area, his figure swiftly vanished from the mountaintop.

’If I want to get stronger, I can’t afford to slack off.’

Opportunities in the Underground Cave were exceptionally rare.

He had to seize as many as he could.

The Celestial Spirit Divine Pool baptism, Enhancement Points, the Demon Emperor’s Essence Beast—he wanted it all!

...

Three days flashed by, and Fang Xing had already reached the Underground Cave Sixth Layer.

After his great haul from the two forbidden zones, the Abyssal Canyon and the Death Swamp, his gains had slowed over the past few days, but he had still accumulated a fair amount.

Although he hadn’t encountered any Demon Emperor Level Fierce Beasts, he had hunted and killed a considerable number of Demon King Level ones.

His Enhancement Points had broken the seven hundred million mark.

His point total had also grown to over twenty-eight hundred.

He was neck and neck with the martial artist in fourth place.

He had fallen behind once, but he quickly reclaimed his spot.

He remained ahead of fourth place by a slim margin of about one hundred points.

Here in the Sixth Layer of the Underground Cave, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was even more violent and chaotic, and the pressure in the air had increased dramatically.

Even his Zongyi Ascension Step was suppressed, reducing his speed to half its usual rate.

The space here was exceptionally stable.

The deeper one went, the more stable the space within the Underground Cave Secret Realm became!

The landscape of the Sixth Layer of the Underground Cave Secret Realm was nothing short of a barren desert.

There was nothing but Gobi Desert and sandy deserts.

No mountains pierced the sky; as far as the eye could see, there was only a vast, endless expanse of Gobi Desert and sand.

Aside from the potent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and stable space, the Sixth Layer of the Underground Cave was also blisteringly hot.

The ambient temperature had soared, becoming more than ten times hotter than a summer day on the outside.

At night, the temperature would plummet, creating an extreme and jarring temperature differential.

Although this wouldn’t have a major impact on a Grandmaster, it was still deeply unpleasant.

’The Sixth Layer...’

Standing atop a sand dune, Fang Xing gazed into the distance.

He cast out his Primordial Spirit Projection, searching for the auras of Fierce Beasts.

Everything within a hundred-li radius was perfectly reflected in his mind.

’It really is completely desolate...’

He couldn’t sense the aura of a single Fierce Beast, and the number of people from other tribes had also dwindled significantly.

Entering the Sixth Layer posed an immense danger, even for Martial Artists in the Early Stage of Grandmaster.

"Hm?"

Fang Xing had just withdrawn his Primordial Spirit and was about to investigate another area when his gaze suddenly froze.

In the distant desert, a Heaven-Reaching sandstorm was sweeping toward him.

The sky filled with swirling yellow sand, forming a tornado several hundred zhang high.

As Fang Xing watched the moving sandstorm, he quickly noticed something was amiss.

This was no natural disaster; a mysterious power was controlling it, and it was heading for his position at an incredible speed.

Using his Primordial Spirit Projection, Fang Xing soon spotted the silhouette of a behemoth at the center of the "tornado."

It looked like a monster formed from yellow sand, but with a sweep of his Golden Eyes of Truth, Fang Xing quickly discerned the creature’s true form.

It was covered by a layer of yellow sand, but inside the sand was a monstrous, lizard-like Fierce Beast.

A monstrous lizard Fierce Beast, ten zhang in size.

It was manipulating the tornado to shred everything in its path.

Compared to the Fierce Beasts he had encountered before, this one was clearly far more intelligent.

’Middle Stage of Demon Emperor...’

Sensing its aura, Fang Xing quickly made an accurate assessment of its power.

He stood perfectly still as he watched the sandstorm draw closer, but his Heart of Slaughter began to throb.

As the black Heart of Slaughter throbbed, the Life-taking Demon Saber began to coalesce within his body.

One breath... two breaths!
