Chapter 575: Chapter 357: Eighth Level of Martial King, Rampant Beasts
[With two thousand years of Martial King’s power, you perfected the fifty-third form of the Nine-Nine True Skill, further elevating your Body Refining cultivation...]
[Nine-Nine True Skill (Fifty-third Form)]
[Ordinary Power: 1.2 million years]
[Martial King’s Power: 3,600 years]
In the room, Wei Fan advanced his Body Refining cultivation to the Eighth Level of Martial King. His Body Refining cultivation had never been exposed and had recently improved again in a short time. Besides Feng Hua and Zhi Hua, others wouldn’t suspect anything.
However, he didn’t completely trust Zhi Hua and Feng Hua, but even if they suspected him, it didn’t matter, because in their eyes, he was a peerless genius more extraordinary than Xuanyuan Peak.
He was forced to do this; originally, he didn’t want to elevate his cultivation so quickly again, but since so many peak Demon Kings had arrived, he worried that the Seventh Level of Martial King’s cultivation wouldn’t suffice to hold the scene.
"Unexpectedly, using Martial King’s power to cultivate the Nine-Nine True Skill consumes twice as much Martial King’s power as the Scripture of Three Emperors."
This was his first time using Martial King’s power to cultivate the Nine-Nine True Skill, and he didn’t expect cultivating one form to cost two thousand years of Martial King’s power; Body Refining is undeniably harder than cultivating True Qi.
But consuming twice as much as the Scripture of the Three Emperors is a bit outrageous.
Electrical sparks gradually dissipated from his body and retracted into his body, while those Dao Celestial Sounds within the imprint also vanished.
Wei Fan’s bones were crystal-clear, his skin radiant and nearly transparent, revealing blood light and other things, with a majestic Blood Qi surging like a tide, also beginning to calm.
Thump... Thump...
His heartbeat was astonishingly loud, like the beating of a war drum.
The consumption of two thousand years of Martial King’s power was enormous, but the increase in strength was also significant, roughly doubling in all aspects. He felt an impulse to fight a Martial Saint.
Of course, he couldn’t possibly be a match for a Martial Saint; this was just a side-effect of the surge in power, a common trait among Body Refining Martial Artists—loving the thrill of seeking fights.
"Hmm?"
Wei Fan’s expression suddenly changed; he sensed a powerful aura in the room next door, as overwhelming as a landslide, partially escaping despite the array formation’s concealment.
"She broke through to Martial King Ninth Layer, truly a demon!"
Living next door was Feng Hua; just by feeling the disturbance, he recognized Feng Hua must have broken through to Martial King Ninth Layer.
Even he couldn’t help but marvel at this talent.
Back in Linyao City, Feng Hua had broken through to Martial King Eighth Layer, and now, less than two months later, she had reached Martial King Ninth Layer.
If she hadn’t spent several years in the Wilderness, perhaps Feng Hua would have been qualified to enter the Saint Realm already.
"Breaking through without even telling me!"
Wei Fan shook his head; the disturbance from breaking through to Martial King Ninth Layer was not small and could even break through the array formation.
He left the room and helped set up a stronger array formation outside Feng Hua’s room before sitting down in the courtyard.
It was already late at night, but Wei Fan, whose cultivation had just enhanced, was full of energy and had no desire to sleep.
He sat down, sipping a drink while admiring the beauty of the night sky.
"Creak..."
Two hours later, Feng Hua opened the door and stepped out, looking vibrant and with reddish, glowing skin.
"Congratulations!" Wei Fan said with a smile, pouring Feng Hua a drink.
Feng Hua sat down, "Thank you. Without you, I would have needed more time to break through."
She wasn’t referring to Wei Fan’s help with setting up the array but rather the Spirit Crystals from Vajra Sect that Wei Fan shared with her. Without those Spirit Crystals, she would have needed more time to break through to Martial King.
Having spent several years in the Wilderness wasn’t a waste; her realm had long reached Martial King Ninth Layer, but she lacked the energy accumulation.
The portion of Spirit Crystals helped her bypass that process.
Wei Fan shook his head; the spoils they gained together naturally couldn’t be monopolized.
"Buzz-buzz..."
Suddenly, both felt the entire Yun Jin City tremble and emit bright light, with gigantic Dao Marks appearing in various corners, communicating with heaven and earth like Divine Soldiers awakening spontaneously.
At the same time, a series of powerful forces spread from outside Yun Jin City, activating its defensive might.
"They’re here!"
Both stood up from their seats, gazing into the night sky outside Yun Jin City, where countless colossal figures seemed to appear, shrouded in a sensation like the heavens were about to collapse.
The entire Yun Jin City resonated with the beating of war drums, awakening many from their slumber.
"Niu Yue!"
Yang Tao opened the door and stepped out, staring directly into the night sky outside Yun Jin City. Simultaneously, at various places in the city, people stepped out from their rooms to observe the scene outside.
Under the cover of night, it was hard to see how many Demon Kings had arrived, but the overwhelming aura suppressed Yun Jin City’s might.
"Hear me, Martial Kings of the Human Race; if you don’t want the aftermath of the battle to destroy Yun Jin City, come out and meet your end!"
A thunderous voice echoed throughout Yun Jin City.
The tide-like aura receded as these Demon Kings began to retreat—not out of mercy towards ordinary people, but because they knew that if they dared to fight here and obliterate the millions of citizens in Yun Jin City, the Demon Hunter Organization’s Martial Saints would surely emerge in full force and scour the Demon Fiend territories.
Such consequences couldn’t even be borne by a Demon Saint.
"Beast, how dare you be so rampant!"
A Human Race Martial King shouted fiercely, sending out a divine light like a great sun flying towards the outside of Yun Jin City, naturally not allowing the battle to break out within the city.
In an instant, there were powerful Martial Kings soaring into the sky from various parts of Yun Jin City.
This time, the Demon Hunter Organization has already issued a reward. Wei Fan and others accepted the task through tokens. Killing a Demon King will earn twice the usual merit.
Killing a Demon King in peak state earns triple the merit.
"Let’s go. Send a message for help if there’s danger!"
Feng Hua locked onto the aura of a retreating Demon King and was the first to break through the air. In this kind of battle, each hunted their own target. After the Martial Kings flew out of Yun Jin City, they also concealed their auras, pursuing and killing the previously locked enemies.
Wei Fan also locked onto an aura and chased out of Yun Jin City.
At the same time, Yang Tao and the martial king experts from the City Lord’s Mansion also departed, leaving Yun Jin City quiet.
"It’s a pity I can’t fight alongside them."
Zhi Hua did not leave. Those Demon Kings were all at the Ninth Layer cultivation, while she was only at the eighth level of Martial King, not eligible to join this great battle, and some experts needed to remain to guard Yun Jin City, in case Demon Fiends attack the city at this moment.
"A mere Martial King at the eighth level dares to intervene in such a grand battle, thinking the members of the Demon Heaven Alliance are all useless?"
Wei Fan had just chased out of the city, yet to catch up with the Demon King he locked onto, when he was targeted by a Demon King who had been hiding its aura.
The aura of a Martial King at the eighth level was like a beacon in the night, extremely conspicuous.
Wei Fan looked over, seeing an old dog, nearly toothless, its blood qi declined to an astonishing degree, with sparse white fur appearing on its head, in a severely injured, dying state.
It clearly failed to break into the Saint Realm and survived by luck, but the backlash was severe.
"It’s actually a Body Refining Martial King. Eating you, I should recover quite a bit..."
The Dog Demon showed a joyful expression, lurking in the dark to scavenge but unexpectedly encountered a young Body Refining Martial King. The robust life aura made it uncontrollably excited.
Rumble...
Great commotion erupted in the distance as some Demon Hunter Martial Kings had already engaged with the Demon Kings, fighting above Yun City, revealing figures as majestic as mountains.
In the heavens and earth, blinding lights occasionally lit up, illuminating the night sky.
The old dog dove down, extending sharp claws straight towards Wei Fan’s face.
Its entire body was rolling with demon qi, displaying a cruel expression. Although its blood qi was terrifyingly depleted, it was still a Ninth-Layer Demon King and a member of the Demon Heaven Alliance. How could it not kill someone at the eighth level of the Martial King in such a place to scavenge?
Boom!
Again, a tremendous explosion echoed through the heavens and earth, lighting up the night sky with a radiance, and the old dog saw a face with a cold expression.
"He’s not panicking..." The old dog saw Wei Fan’s expression, a bad premonition welling up in its heart.
The next moment, Wei Fan in its view became blurry, even disappearing.
"So fast..."
This thought had just emerged in its mind when Wei Fan, like a flash of lightning, crossed the distance between them, slapping towards its head.
Boom!
At this time, the terrifying explosion echoed through the heavens and earth, blood splattered, and the head of this Dog King who failed to break into the Saint Realm exploded instantly, killed in one move.
[Killed a Ninth-Layer Demon King, gained 100,000 years of ordinary power, 900 years of Martial King power]
[Ordinary Power: 1,300,000 years]
[Martial King Power: 4,500 years]
Wei Fan’s will power swept through, collected the Dog Demon’s corpse, and continued to pursue the previously locked blood qi.
This kind of Demon King that failed to break into the Saint Realm and suffered terrible backlash could have been easily slapped to death by him before, let alone now that his cultivation has once again increased.
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
The sound of battles could be heard everywhere in the distance, nearly a dozen places, and many were still tracking enemies, battles hadn’t fully erupted yet, otherwise, there would be even more.
Wei Fan collected his thoughts and continued to pursue the previously locked aura. After dozens of breaths later, he descended into a mountain area.
This was a place where a battle had already erupted. The mountain forest was destroyed, the earth cracked into ruins. On a collapsed giant boulder, a golden figure sat, gnawing on a human leg.
He was more than two meters tall, like a small mountain. Even though it was merely an ordinary boulder, he made it feel like a throne, as if everything around was bowing to him.
On his half-naked body, muscles coiled like pythons, golden curly hair rippling like waves in the wind.
This was undoubtedly a Golden Lion!
Wei Fan’s expression darkened. He had only been delayed by that old dog for a moment, yet a Demon Hunter had already died tragically at the hands of this Golden Lion, and its body was being devoured.
[Lion Kite: Ninth-Layer Demon King, true form is a Golden Lion, has killed countless]
[Killing it, you can gain 100,000 years of ordinary power, 900 years of Martial King power]
"A Body Refining Martial Artist at the eighth level of the Martial King, though slightly weaker in cultivation, is more nourishing to eat than a typical Ninth-Layer Martial King!"
Body Refining Martial Artists have always been the favorite of demons, potent blood qi, sometimes eating one Body Refining Martial Artist is equivalent to consuming three or four peers cultivating True Qi.
