Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Cultivation Feedback! Ghost Dragon Illusion, Poison Fire Burns the Heavens
Ning Fengyun also came to a realization. His eyes narrowed, his expression turning solemn as he gazed at the Demon Moon Flowers before him.
A treasure like the Demon Moon Flower typically grew in places with the densest Demonic Qi. After being harvested, it could be used with other medicinal herbs to increase the efficiency of a Martial Artist’s Realm breakthrough!
It was a rare and precious treasure!
But at the same time, the places with the densest Demonic Qi were also the favorite haunts of powerful Demon Fiends!
ROAR!!
Sure enough, in the next moment, a startling roar echoed from deep within the black cliff face!
WHOOSH!!
In an instant, a gale of dense, black wind abruptly swept up from the cliff, enveloping the dozen or so Demon Moon Flowers. Shrouded in the black wind, the flowers became tantalizingly beautiful, emitting a rich, unique fragrance.
RUMBLE!
Following that, the rock wall began to tremble. Large amounts of small debris constantly rolled down from the cliff, and the ground all around began to crack!
It finally exploded with a BOOM!
Demonic Qi surged to the heavens!
A humanoid Demon Fiend, clutching a long black blade, materialized.
It stood several zhang tall, its black eyes cold as it stared viciously at the two of them!
Ning Fengyun instinctively drew his longblade, his expression extremely grave!
The humanoid Demon Fiend before them was a Fifth-Level Demon Fiend!
Moreover, the strength of its aura far surpassed that of an ordinary Fifth-Level Demon Fiend!
It was extremely powerful!
Ning Fengyun’s Cultivation was only at the Extraordinary Realm Second Level. Therefore, facing this Fifth-Level Demon Fiend with its astonishing aura, his face turned slightly pale, and his Heart Spirit grew heavy!
’If I were facing this Demon Fiend alone, I’d be doomed.’ But with the famous Poison Fire Daoist by his side, he felt a bit more at ease.
Sure enough, after seeing the Demon Fiend, the Poison Fire Daoist at his side showed no fear. Instead, a look of delight appeared on his face.
"What a fine Demon Fiend! Brother Ning, you just stay behind this old Daoist. There’s no need for you to act..."
BUZZ!!
As the old Daoist spoke, he took a Black Bell Magical Artifact from his robes. It was carved with intricate Patterns, was about the size of two palms, and radiated dense Magical Power fluctuations!
"The Demon Power of this Fifth-Level Demon Fiend is exceptionally strong! It’s a rare find!"
"If I refine it into a Daoist Soldier, its potential will surely be extraordinary!"
"Heaven is truly on my side!"
The Poison Fire Daoist laughed heartily. Then, unleashing a torrent of True Qi, he crossed several dozen zhang in a single step and floated in mid-air!
BOOM!
He activated the Black Bell Magical Artifact. The intricate Patterns carved on it instantly came to life, shooting out black chains that bound the body of the Fifth-Level Demon Fiend!
The humanoid Demon Fiend seemed to be enraged. It roared and unleashed a special ability, its entire body emitting a dazzling, crimson light!
Its entire body swelled several times larger once again!
At this moment, its Demon Power surged. It broke free from the chains and engaged the Poison Fire Daoist in a bloody battle!
The two clashed violently. The once-solid cliff face, as if made of paper, was shattered in many places. Rubble flew everywhere, scattering across the ground!
The shockwaves of the battle traveled far and wide!
"Is this the might of the Extraordinary Realm Ninth Layer?"
"So strong!"
Standing rooted to the spot, Ning Fengyun muttered to himself.
His Cultivation was too low; he was completely powerless to participate in a battle of this level.
...
Far away, on a mountaintop, a massive black direwolf tore a Third-Level Demon Fiend to pieces with a single bite, then devoured the Demon Power within its body!
Then, the black direwolf bounded over to Su Bai, respectfully lowered its body, and fawned over him.
"Not bad! Your Demon Power has grown so much!"
Looking at the Black Nether Wolf, whose body had grown several times larger, Su Bai revealed a pleased expression.
During this time, the Black Nether Wolf had hunted down many Third-Level Demon Fiends and a few Fourth-Level Demon Fiends. By devouring their Demon Power, not only had its body grown several times larger, but its strength had also increased considerably!
Its current strength was finally passable.
He had been here for a long time now.
He had traveled quite a distance and had naturally encountered many Demon Fiends along the way.
Most of these were Third-Level Demon Fiends, not particularly strong, so Su Bai had his Black Nether Wolf deal with them quickly.
As for the two Third-Level Demon Fiends he had taken in before, they had already died in battle. Their remaining Demon Power was devoured by the Black Nether Wolf, becoming its sustenance!
And after devouring so much Demon Power, the Black Nether Wolf had lived up to expectations. It was now on the verge of breaking through the bottleneck of a Fourth-Level Demon Fiend to become a Fifth-Level Demon Fiend!
A Fifth-Level Demon Fiend was comparable to a Martial Artist in the Extraordinary Realm. Moreover, the Black Nether Wolf possessed the special ability of Invisibility. If caught off guard, even a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm might suffer a great loss!
Therefore, nurturing the Black Nether Wolf was still worthwhile.
Furthermore, because the Life Force of Demon Fiends was extremely strong, many Martial Artists of the same rank didn’t actually have the ability to slay them. On the contrary, they were more likely to be killed by the Demon Fiends instead!
Of course, compared to Demon Fiends, the number of human Martial Artists was far greater. This was the key reason why Demon Fiends, despite their bizarre abilities, had not conquered this world.
HUM!
Every time the Black Nether Wolf hunted and killed a Third-Level Demon Fiend, devouring its Demon Power and growing stronger, a faint black light would flicker at Su Bai’s fingertip.
"The Demon Taming Technique! Truly worthy of being a Seventh Grade Cultivation Technique! Every time the Black Nether Wolf hunts a Demon Fiend and devours its Demon Power, it provides me with a certain amount of cultivation feedback!"
Su Bai couldn’t help but sigh with emotion after carefully experiencing it.
Just from the hunting during this period, the cultivation feedback from the Black Nether Wolf had already converted into tens of thousands of Experience Points!
’Isn’t this just like AFK farming?’
’Getting stronger just by lying down!’
With this, Su Bai had gained another way to acquire Experience Points!
Of course, the Experience Points converted from the cultivation feedback were automatically added to his Cultivation; Su Bai couldn’t allocate them himself.
Still, this method of getting stronger just by lying down!
It was truly captivating!
After all, who would fight tooth and nail if they could get stronger just by lying down?
Su Bai could imagine a future where, with a wave of his arm, hundreds of millions of Demon Fiends would pour out in full force!
At that time, the amount of Experience Points these subordinate Demon Fiends would provide him would be immense!
After some thought, Su Bai continued forward, making the Black Nether Wolf hunt Demon Fiends with even more vigor!
RUMBLE!
After some time, Su Bai heard a series of rumbles from the distance!
’What’s going on? Someone else came to this Demon Cave?’
Su Bai’s expression hardened as he looked into the distance.
’Someone’s trying to steal my kills!’
RUMBLE!!
On the cliff face, the Poison Fire Daoist was sent flying back several zhang by a slash from the humanoid Demon Fiend!
His face was pale! His robes were stained with blood!
And on the blade of the humanoid Demon Fiend, a ghastly Ghost Dragon Illusion made of white bone flashed and vanished!
"Good, good, good! Truly a fine Demon Fiend!"
"To think it was actually able to comprehend Divine Techniques!"
The Poison Fire Daoist wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of pleasant surprise on his face. "It seems this old Daoist will have to use his full strength!"
BOOM!
The Poison Fire Daoist flipped his right palm!
In an instant, a strange, scarlet poison flame suddenly bloomed!
Then, its form swelled violently!
Like a searing flame that could incinerate the heavens!
