Immortality Cultivation

Chapter 277: Annihilation

Fist and sword attacked simultaneously, forcefully smashing into the fissure that was spewing thick black Evil Qi and emitting terrifying roars!

Crimson Phoenix’s phoenix feather flying sword, carrying a scorching Sword Intent that could burn through the eight wildernesses, blazed with crimson light. Wherever it passed, the black Evil Qi melted like snow under the sun, emitting a ’hissing’ sound. It forcefully carved a gap in the viscous torrent of Evil Qi, slashing fiercely toward the vague figure that was currently coalescing from countless weapon fragments and resentful Evil Qi!

Fang Hao’s platinum fist force, saturated with the power of his newly completed Golden Qi Marrow Cleansing, was even more savage and direct! The wind of his punch tore through the air, accompanied by ear-splitting sonic booms and an unparalleled sharpness that could shred everything. It arrived faster than expected, like an invisible heavy hammer, landing solidly on the ’chest’ of the Baleful Spirit figure!

Bang! Boom—!!!

Two powerful forces erupted almost simultaneously! The crimson sword light slashed into the Baleful Spirit’s body, erupting with blinding light and violent energy fluctuations. Countless weapon fragments were sent scattering, then ignited and melted by the crimson flames! The platinum fist force was even more peerless and fierce, forcefully knocking the newly coalesced and unstable Baleful Spirit figure backward, causing it to stagger. A huge gap appeared in its chest, shredded by the fist force and the sharp Geng Metal Qi, causing a large amount of black Evil Qi to dissipate from within!

Roar—!!!

The Baleful Spirit let out an even more furious and shrill roar, the sound mixed with the friction of metal and the wails of countless departed souls, making the entire stone chamber buzz and the rock walls crack! It was clearly completely enraged by these two attacks! Although its body had been partially scattered, the surrounding black Evil Qi and weapon fragments rushed toward it like rivers flowing into the sea, rapidly repairing its body. At the same time, a terrifying pressure, even colder, more violent, and filled with Killing Intent, spread out like a tangible force, firmly locking onto Fang Hao and Crimson Phoenix!

Damn it! This thing can absorb the Evil Qi and weapon remains of the Valley of Buried Soldiers to recover! We can’t give it time!

Miss Chi Huang’s expression changed slightly, and cold light flickered in her phoenix eyes. She changed her sword technique, and the phoenix feather flying sword split into three, then into nine, transforming into nine crimson sword shadows that formed an arcane sword array, once again attacking the Baleful Spirit! The power of the sword array was clearly greater than a single attack, but the consumption was also higher, and a trace of paleness appeared on her beautiful face.

Fang Hao also felt how troublesome and terrifying this Baleful Spirit was. That punch just now was almost the Peak strike of his Physical Body strength and Chaos Spiritual Power after his Golden Qi Marrow Cleansing was first completed, yet it only knocked it back and partially scattered it, failing to cause fatal damage. The essence of this Baleful Spirit did not seem to be a physical entity but rather something coalesced from the Evil Qi, weapon Killing Intent, and the resentment of broken weapons accumulated in the Valley of Buried Soldiers over countless years. As long as the Evil Qi in the Valley of Buried Soldiers was not exhausted, it was almost immortal!

Moreover, he could feel that the Baleful Spirit’s intelligence did not seem high, but its combat instinct and Killing Intent were astonishingly strong. Deep within its core, there seemed to be hidden fragments of a more ancient and violent will!

Must find its core, or deliver a devastating blow far exceeding its ability to recover!

Fang Hao’s thoughts raced, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the churning blood and hidden pain in his body caused by the interruption of Golden Qi Marrow Cleansing and his all-out punch.

Feeling the surging, roaring, and unprecedentedly powerful force within him, carrying a platinum sharpness, as well as the solid, immortal, and mountain-lifting sense of fulfillment coming from deep within his bones, Fang Hao’s confidence soared to an unprecedented level!

Although the fourth stage of the Hundred Refinements Golden Body Art, ’Golden Qi Marrow Cleansing,’ was interrupted by the Baleful Spirit’s shriek and failed to reach total Perfection, it was 99% complete! His Physical Body had undergone a heaven-shaking transformation! If his physical strength had previously been comparable to an Early Stage Body Cultivator, then at this moment, after experiencing the Geng Metal Origin marrow cleansing and deep tempering of his bones and marrow, his physical strength, power, recovery, and resistance to physical and energy attacks had leaped to a whole new level! Relying on his Physical Body alone, he was already capable of withstanding the full-force strike of a Middle Stage Body Cultivator! If combined with Chaos Spiritual Power, the power would be even greater!

The Sun Family Elder at the Peak of the Early Stage Nascent Soul Stage?

The figure that had once forced him into a desperate situation flashed through Fang Hao’s mind, and a cold arc curled at the corner of his mouth. If he met him again, he had absolute confidence that, relying solely on this transformed Physical Body, he could confront him head-on, and even... defeat him!

And now, the Baleful Spirit before him, coalesced from Evil Qi and resentment, although strange, difficult to deal with, and possessing astonishing pressure, ultimately lacked the understanding of the laws of heaven and earth and the exquisite and ever-changing Spells and Divine Abilities of a true Nascent Soul Cultivator. Its strength lay in its near-immortal recovery and the resentment shock that struck directly at the Divine Soul!

Compare recovery? Compare brute force? Compare who is tougher?

Battle Intent rose in Fang Hao’s eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced. He took a step forward, and the rock beneath his feet cracked inch by inch! He no longer concealed his aura, and his aura at the Perfected Golden Core exploded, merging with his incomparably tyrannical physical blood energy to form a terrifying pressure like a prehistoric Vicious Beast, which was vaguely able to rival the Baleful Spirit!

Miss Chi Huang, you focus on suppression and distraction to disrupt its gathering of Evil Qi! I will find its core and destroy its foundation!

Fang Hao shouted in a deep voice, his voice clearly audible in the violently vibrating stone chamber.

Miss Chi Huang heard this, and a strange look flashed in her eyes. She did not expect that, with his Golden Qi Marrow Cleansing interrupted and clearly injured, Fang Hao not only did not retreat but instead erupted with such astonishing Battle Intent and pressure! His physical blood energy was simply like a humanoid tyrannosaurus! Her assessment of Fang Hao was refreshed once again. Without further ado, she gave a clear shout: ’Good!’

The sword array composed of nine crimson sword shadows shone brightly, with blazing flames, attacking the Baleful Spirit from all directions. It did not seek a fatal blow but sought to continuously cut and burn its Evil Qi body, interfering with its recovery and coalescence!

The Baleful Spirit roared repeatedly, waving its huge arms made of countless weapon fragments, carrying a shrill wind and thick black Evil Qi, slapping toward the sword array. It collided violently with the crimson sword light, emitting deafening sounds of metal clashing and energy explosions. The entire stone chamber was swaying, as if it might collapse at any moment!

And Fang Hao, like a ghost, used Divine Spirit Steps, weaving through the violent energy turbulence and scattering rocks and weapon fragments, narrowly avoiding the Baleful Spirit’s several lunges. His target was the ’head’ of this Baleful Spirit—there, the Evil Qi was the most concentrated, and there was vaguely a dark red crystal, like solidified blood, floating in the Evil Qi, emitting the core resentment and Killing Intent fluctuations!

That’s it!

Fang Hao’s gaze fixed, locking onto the target. He did not hesitate in the slightest. The Chaos Spiritual liquid within his body rotated crazily, resonating with the new, platinum-sharp blood energy deep in his bone marrow! He no longer held back, clenching his right fist again. This time, on the fist, not only was platinum light flowing, but wisps of gray Chaos Spiritual Power were also entwined. A breath of destruction, heaviness, and the ability to shatter everything began to coalesce!

Break!

Fang Hao gave a low roar, and the ground beneath his feet exploded violently. His whole body, like a cannonball fired from a chamber, moved at a speed difficult for the naked eye to capture, instantly advancing in front of the Baleful Spirit’s massive body. Ignoring the black Evil Qi and flying weapon fragments sweeping in from around him, that punch, which had condensed all his strength and fused Chaos Spiritual Power with the physical might of Golden Qi Marrow Cleansing, was like a meteor falling to the ground, forcefully smashing toward that dark red crystal core!

Wherever the fist passed, space seemed to be compressed and twisted! The black Evil Qi and weapon fragments that attempted to block it were directly scattered and melted as soon as they touched the fist force, due to the incomparable giant force and the annihilation characteristics of the Chaos Spiritual Power.

Roar.
