Chapter 492: Chapter 198: Sweeping and Plundering (2)

What was even more terrifying was that in just a dozen breaths, he had completely slain a Middle Stage of Demon Emperor Level Fierce Beast.

"True Essence Second Realm Cultivation, Early Stage of Grandmaster?!"

Gazing at the cultivation aura emanating from the young man in the Profound Black Martial Attire, the three couldn’t help but stare with wide eyes.

They all wondered if their eyes were deceiving them.

’How could he possibly only have a True Essence Second Layer Cultivation!?’

’This completely defies the natural order!’

"Did we sense it wrong?"

The three Grandmasters stood there, dazed, as the same thought surfaced in their minds.

’An Early Stage Grandmaster at the True Essence Second Layer, not even the Third Layer... How could he possibly slay a Fierce Beast comparable to the Middle Stage of the Demon Emperor realm?!’

While the three stood there in a daze, Fang Xing had already finished wrapping up.

Seizing the Beast Essence, collecting the Fierce Beast’s corpse, and suppressing the Fierce Beast’s soul.

This was all routine for Fang Xing; he completed the tasks effortlessly.

SWOOSH—!

His True Essence swirled as he executed the Zongyi Ascension Step, and Fang Xing vanished without a trace from right under the three Grandmasters’ noses.

"SHIT!"

An enraged roar echoed through the shattered, forbidden zone of the valley.

By the time Fang Xing vanished, the three Grandmasters had finally snapped out of it.

But it was already too late. The Fierce Beast’s carcass had been taken, and the man was long gone.

Staring at the ruins of the enormous, collapsed pit, the three Grandmasters’ faces were ashen.

’He just left. Just like that.’

’You could have at least said hello! Hey!’

’How unbelievably rude!’

’Does being strong make you so great?’

’Well, yeah, it actually does...’

’Dammit, we really lost out this time,’ the three Grandmasters cursed inwardly.

’We wasted the better part of the day and got nothing to show for it. Who could possibly understand how frustrating this is?!’

’So damn frustrating!’

’This is the first time we’ve felt this wronged since becoming Grandmasters!’

"Let’s go. We’ll try our luck elsewhere," one of the Grandmasters said with a helpless sigh, then vanished from the forbidden zone of the valley.

The other two Grandmasters exchanged a look. Though filled with resentment, they had no choice but to accept the facts.

They weren’t as strong as him. Even if it was infuriating, there was no way to get even. All they could do was accept their loss!

...

"Over 130 million..."

"That was fast, as expected!"

A brilliant smile spread across Fang Xing’s face as he looked at the Enhancement Points on his panel.

Slaying three Demon Emperor Level Fierce Beasts—an opportunity like this could only be found in the Underground Cave.

Out in the world, there would never be such a golden opportunity.

He sat cross-legged and spent the time it takes an incense stick to burn to perform Refinement on the Fierce Beast’s soul. The Soul Power from a beast at the Middle Stage of the Demon Emperor Level was immense. After a full incense stick’s worth of time, he had refined it all, and his Void Concealing God was restored to a size of thirty zhang!

It was just thirty zhang short of being restored to Great Success!

’At this rate,’ he thought, ’it won’t be long before my other two Divine Spirits are restored.’

Fang Xing let out a turbid breath and checked his points.

After slaying that Demon Emperor Level Fierce Beast, his score had risen enough to put him in tenth place.

With just over four hundred points, he was merely in tenth place.

When he saw the scores of the top three, Fang Xing felt a headache coming on.

They were over one thousand!

Even the person in third place had a thousand points.

Without exception, all three were Grandmasters from the three major super-tribes.

Even he was left breathless by their speed.

’It’s still early,’ he thought. ’I still have a chance!’

Taking a deep breath, Fang Xing set out once more.

This was no time to sit back and enjoy the spoils of Refinement.

The Underground Cave was only accessible for a month. After this frenzied period, he would have to leave.

Even if he couldn’t make it to the Celestial Spirit Divine Pool, he had to at least make a fortune.

...

「Five days later, on the Fifth Layer of the Underground Cave.」

Fang Xing’s figure emerged from the passage.

His harvest over the past few days on the fourth layer of the Underground Cave had been substantial.

In addition to the Middle Stage Demon Emperor Fierce Beast he’d killed initially, he had also slain three at the Early Stage of Demon Emperor over the next few days. Fang Xing had also taken down a number of Demon King Level Fierce Beasts.

Having slain a total of six Demon Emperor Level Fierce Beasts, his Enhancement Points had surpassed two hundred and fifty million!

His score also reached one thousand.

However, it was only just over a thousand.

He had moved up one rank, putting him in ninth place.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t killing fast enough; the people ahead of him were just too monstrous.

He was just one person competing against entire tribes, especially the super-tribes and other large tribes.

Fang Xing felt the pressure was immense.

Although the gap between ninth and fourth place wasn’t large—only fluctuating by one or two hundred points—

—the gap to the top three was enormous.

Even the person in third place had already reached two thousand points.

Despite his best efforts, the gap between them was still immense.

There truly is strength in numbers!

This time, Fang Xing was experiencing that firsthand.

But there was nothing to be done. The only person he could rely on was himself.

Even Yun Shu couldn’t be of much help.

Yun Shu’s score was only a little over three hundred, lagging far behind.

’The pressure has increased several-fold...’

Fang Xing felt the change in the atmosphere. The immense pressure felt like a mountain pressing down on him.

The laws of the Underground Cave changed the deeper one went, and the changes became more pronounced.

Fortunately, his Void Concealing God had already fully recovered. After absorbing the Soul Power from numerous Demon King and Demon Emperor Fierce Beasts over the past few days, the Void Concealing God was completely restored to the state of Great Success.

Next, he would start working on restoring the other two Divine Spirits.

The Void Brahma God and the Vajra Guardian Spirit!

If he could restore one Divine Spirit in just six days, he had absolute confidence he could restore the other two.

Gazing at the dark-red sky, Fang Xing continued to use his Primordial Spirit Projection.

He needed to be careful now that he was on the Fifth Layer.

On the Underground Cave Fifth Layer, the probability of encountering Demon Emperor Level Fierce Beasts increased dramatically.

Even an encounter with a Demon Emperor Peak Level Fierce Beast was not out of the question.
