Chapter 501: Chapter 201: Hun Daoist, I’ve Brought You a Gift

「Underground Cave, Seventh Layer.」

The sky was no longer blood-red, but a hazy gray.

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was even more violent.

The moment he stepped into the Underground Cave’s Seventh Layer, Fang Xing felt the pressure spike drastically.

"This space..."

Fang Xing’s expression turned grim.

Compared to the Sixth Layer of the Underground Cave, the Seventh Layer seemed quite normal on the surface, but it was actually far more terrifying.

Within the thick cloud layers, streaks of lightning tore across the sky. Silver-white flashes crisscrossed, painting a scene like the end of days.

The Underground Cave’s Seventh Layer.

The space here was stronger, and the pressure between heaven and earth was immense. Under this immense pressure, even his Flesh Body felt a trace of heaviness.

One had to remember that he had cultivated the Prison-Suppression Golden Body, and his Physical Strength was incomparable to that of an ordinary Grandmaster.

His Flesh Body had always been his strong suit.

Yet here, in the Seventh Layer of the Underground Cave, he felt a heavy pressure.

Under this kind of pressure, a normal Grandmaster would consume an enormous amount of True Essence.

If they were to encounter the Fierce Beasts here, the situation would become extremely dangerous.

After all, the Fierce Beasts within the Underground Cave were not suppressed by its rules.

Only outsiders like them would be suppressed, deliberately targeted by the world of the Underground Cave.

With their strength weakened, they could normally only exert seventy or eighty percent of their power.

Gazing at the clouds and the lightning flashing within, Fang Xing took a moment to acclimatize, and then felt much better.

The sudden burden had caught his Flesh Body off guard, but after adapting, the situation improved significantly.

Although the world’s suppression had some effect, he could, by contrast, absorb the potent Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi here to replenish himself, completely negating any worry about True Essence consumption.

In this regard, he held a distinct advantage.

Scanning his surroundings, Fang Xing looked toward the distant mountain range.

Wreathed in True Essence, he activated the Zongyi Ascension Step and sped toward the mountains.

The mountains were high, the forests dense, and the peaks rose one after another.

In a matter of moments, he arrived atop a mountain peak.

As his gaze swept over the area, he could feel the aura of Fierce Beasts permeating the mountains.

"SWOOSH—!"

A sudden sound of something tearing through the air rang out. The sky darkened, and as Fang Xing looked up, a raptorial Fierce Beast that blotted out the sun and sky appeared before him.

It was a gigantic golden eagle!

Its wingspan was a full hundred meters!

It pressed down like a great mountain, and the very world seemed to dim under its oppressive presence.

"Late Stage of Demon Emperor..."

Sensing its aura, Fang Xing’s expression grew taut.

"SKRAW—!"

A piercing cry exploded forth. The great eagle’s massive talons tore through the air, forming a colossal golden claw that swiped down at him.

Fang Xing did not dodge or evade. A dark gold radiance flowed around his body.

"ROAR—!"

The roar of an Ancient Dragon Elephant erupted from within him, and the phantom of the colossal beast manifested behind him.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist. All the power in his body converged on a single point, fused with his Mental Will, and a brilliant Fist Seal erupted into the Void to meet the attack.

BOOM...!

The attacks collided. The power of twelve hundred dragons, combined with the ultimate Prison-Suppressing Divine Fist, shattered the golden eagle’s talon attack with a single punch.

The surrounding air exploded, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye rippled outward in all directions.

The air churned violently, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi roiled!

Its attack shattered, the golden eagle in the sky let out a screech and swiped with its other talon.

But in that instant, a golden light flared in the Void. The Golden Body Dharma Aspect manifested and forcefully withstood the eagle’s blow.

At the same time, Fang Xing’s figure vanished, reappearing above the golden eagle’s head in the span of a breath.

"BANG!"

His fist, like a dragon, slammed down ruthlessly. The golden eagle Fierce Beast, as massive as a mountain, was brutally smashed toward the ground by his strength.

The mountaintop collapsed, instantly obliterated.

A violent shockwave swept out as thick dust filled the air.

"SHHIIING—"

The golden eagle’s form had just reappeared amidst the dust when the Golden Body Dharma Aspect flashed before it.

It launched the Prison-Suppressing Divine Fist. Empowered by his Rank, the blow once again heavily wounded the colossal golden eagle.

One of its wings was snapped in two.

Destructive power pierced through the golden eagle’s body, annihilating its internal organs.

"SHLICK—!"

Fang Xing followed close behind, his Life-taking Demon Saber directly severing the golden eagle Fierce Beast’s head.

The Devouring God Golden Light surged, pulling the golden eagle’s soul inside to be suppressed in his Celestial Court.

The Refining Divine Technique operated madly, swiftly absorbing the golden eagle’s Soul Power.

His Primordial Spirit shimmered. He could feel his Heaven and Earth Rank strengthen by a fraction, and the formless suppression on him lessened as well.

He cut open the corpse, retrieved the Beast Essence, and immediately activated his Sun Golden Flame to refine it.

Then, he stored it away.

"Whew..."

Exhaling a turbid breath, Fang Xing felt a layer of sweat form on his forehead.

With the suppression from the Seventh Layer, slaying a Fierce Beast at the Late Stage of Demon Emperor had taken a considerable amount of effort.

Without deploying his Golden Body Dharma Aspect, he wouldn’t have been able to take down this golden eagle Fierce Beast so easily.

Fang Xing glanced at his status panel. ’Nine hundred and forty million points... Just one more Fierce Beast at the Late Stage of Demon Emperor, and I’ll have reached my short-term goal. Completing it in a little over half a month isn’t bad at all. I wouldn’t get such a good opportunity anywhere else.’

He checked the points rankings. ’Rank 3,007... Still pretty far down, but it wouldn’t be bad if I can just hold this position.’

Fang Xing didn’t have the appetite to fight for first place.

He had to be realistic; securing a spot in the top three would be enough.

His growth had been rapid in the early stages, but to keep climbing, he would have to take down even stronger Fierce Beasts.

Slaying Fierce Beasts at the Late Stage of Demon Emperor was already pushing his limits.

Fang Xing was well aware of this fact.

He still felt immense pressure to suppress the other Grandmasters and secure a top-three spot.

"Hm?"

Just as he was preparing to leave, Fang Xing suddenly looked up. Several figures had appeared in his line of sight.
